9: There is a misunderstanding here. The falling of the edge had nothing to do with the earth being flat, but by the idea that the church did not recognize any land between Europe and Asia westwards. The idea that america did exist had circulated in Europe for centuries prior to Columbus setting of, it probobly came from vikings traveling most of Europe. The reason why there was nobody going there earlier was due to the people banning people to do so. The reason why Spain did was probobly an effect of reconqvista. 8: This is also sort of psudo true. There was large democratic problems in Germany long before the nazis entered power. most of the systems was corrupt and the amount of democracy in the country was very low. It was a fight between what was the establishment, that was deeply corrupt, and the communist that already at this time had a very bad track-record. The nazis turned all the corruption against them, and there for manage to almost win the election, and took power with the help of smaller parties. They didn´t become a true dictatorship before the election after. So it wasn´t like Germany went from a true working democracy to a dictatorship. It rather went from a deeply corrupt hardly democratic country to a deeply corrupt hardly democratic country.... then first after the emergency, to a dictatorship. This is really common on how countries become dictatorial.
