schestowitzThe European wars of religion, which lead to the Treaty of Westphalia came out of the printed book. Without the invention of the book, there would have been no such things as nationstates per se, with the boundaries and human rights and all the consequences that followed.  The wars that split europe after about 1600 were a new kind of war - there had been religious wars before, but that begun to be about control *of* religionAug 28 17:55
