The Rise of Absolutism: Part 1 — The Events That Came Before

We don’t see reality as it truly is — we see it the way evolution taught us to survive.
But the human mind can do more: it uncovers hidden connections, brings order to chaos, and sometimes — reveals the essence of things.
This is analysis. This is structure. This is revelation.
Welcome to the world of reality.

This is the opening episode of The Rise of Absolutism.
Part 1 explores the events that set the stage before the age of absolute monarchy began.
