All of Europe comes to mind because Europe is a specific continent. I was taught there are seven continents. Are you only taught there are six? When you say "America, or American history" you're including South America in all that context?

Read in a book the other day that around the 10th century, the average western European warhorse was approximately 14 hands, about the size of a large pony today. A quick Google search reads that they may have been as short as 13 hands on average around Roman times.

The back and neck haven't changed. Being ridden damages horses, as their back is in effect a suspension bridge, but there are ways to prevent or delay this. Wild horses' 'neck stance' is not necessarily that different to ridden horses'.

Yeah, I do. That's how I was taught: Historia de América Do you think America just spontaneously happened when discovered?

This is what happens when the people from USA co-opt the name of the whole continent just for their country. What comes to your mind when I say European history?

While this video is definitely an interesting video about Hitler and Stalin, it would be much better if there was at least some sort of summary or description of the video itself.

Thanks!

Damn, it sounds crazy that our species (homo sapiens) has been here for ~200 000 years and we started doing these kind of things (farming, riding a horse, starting up civilizations etc.) only about ~12 000 years ago.

Give me a time machine. There is so much to see before that time!
