Stronger Armor Helped Shape the Outcome of War

The invention of stronger armor helped shape the outcome of war. A long time ago, armor wasn't very strong, then people came up with having new ways to make armor. Their enemy's dull swords couldn't get through the armor. The invention of stronger armor helped them win the battle.

New warships also helped win wars. The Egyptians were the first ones who made warships. They were afraid other people would steal their stuff, so they put people with bows and arrows on the ships. They also added guards to the ships to protect the rowers.

Cyclical vs. Linear History

There are two views of history: cyclical and linear. Cyclical cycles between chaos and order. Linear has a beginning and end. Holding a cyclical view of time might make someone pessimistic about the future because we're heading towards chaos.

Capital is anything that makes us able to serve others better. A cyclical view makes me not want to build capital because there's going to be chaos. A linear view makes me want to build capital because God has a purpose for the end because He's coming again.
