You can pretty much throw out any certainty of events before the British Empire invaded an area of the world.  After that the recorded history will both have the same bias and consistency.  Before that history will have been recorded (or not) and possibly lost by civilizations that did not win the game of Civilization (infinite): Real Life.<p>What is recorded as happening in Europe, that dense painting of many &#x27;small&#x27; battles that consumed whole cities&#x2F;towns&#x2F;etc, can be assumed to have happened generally &#x2F;everywhere&#x2F; anyone would actually want to live.
