Thats just it. I would like to narrow it down more. Hence the need for a more condensed history. I am leaning towards times where Europe was still very tribal and fractured. Pre-Christian times. I am still very much in the musing stage. Lots of fractured ideas. Very little form. It does not help...
Are there any places where I can get a condensed version of european political history. Besides Wikipedia. Also especially based in and around Scandinavia.
