Warfare, Advancement, and Revisionism

Thomas Preston Floyd

The goal of this project is to document the history of humanity by documenting all of humanity’s attempts to defeat it’s greatest foe. Itself. This is not going to be a straightforward documentation of kings fighting and destroying each other, though there will be many mentions and examples of that.

Their triumphs and tragedies
