re: #362 ProLifeLiberal

Come to think of it, that’s probably the reason why Germany and Central Europe lagged behind for so long afterwards. The decimation of the population meant that social (and other) progress became stunted, people had the more basic issues, like survival, to deal with. Multiple Generations were affected, meaning it took a long time to recover.

They also lost out on trans-oceanic colonization. Never caught the wave.
