Colombian era fucking caused syphilis outbreak in Europe, archeologists say
https://phys.org/news/2024-12-syphilis-roots-americas-archaeological-bone.html
In spring 1495, the Italian campaign of Charles VIII of France was interrupted by an intense outbreak of an apparently unknown illnessāa disease of high
mortality that quickly engulfed the whole of Europe and left its survivors with life-changing impairments to their bodies and minds. This documented epidemic is
now interpreted to be the first historical account of syphilis.

For this to have happened, you must have had infected men come back from the americas and then get a whole army full
of men infected. Which means there were possibly mobile brothels following the campaigning armies around. Do not recall reading about this in western history 1.

Isnāt it interesting how we focus on European colonization of the Americas, Africa, and MENA region, but many
leftists leave out the colonization of European countries by other European countries. Didnāt France take Alsace-Lorraine after WWI? Germans are missing out
on some good cheese.
With that being said, Italy was colonized by several European powers. Mostly, the French and Spanish who were larger powers colonized us for years. You can find
French and Spanish castles throughout Italy to this day. There are Swabian (Southern German) castles too and various other Germanic groups who colonized Italy
both in medieval times and recent times. Not to mention, leftists frequently talk about Europeans colonization of the Middle East, but not about Arab and
Ottoman colonization throughout Italy and the Balkans.
I am not sure about syphilis. I am sadly young brought to have had far left nut job teachers who like to make it seem like syphilis was intentionally spread by
Europeans in the Americas.
Many modern leftists conveniently leave out parts of history. Another part of history they are uncomfortable discussing is that it wasnāt just white men in
America that owned black slaves, but many native tribes owned black slaves as well.
Not to get off track, but that they have turned āfascismā into a synonym for nazism is also a joke and shows an ignorance of history and political ideology.

Also had to mention Euro colonization of Europe because the article starts with the line, āthe Italian campaign of
Charles VIII of France.ā

I think a true account of prostitution and sexual violence in human history would be impossible to write due to lack
of written info, but it would be fascinating. Seeing the brothels in Pompeii really show you how different that culture was. Or how women were mass raped by
conquering armies and how that affected populations. Or how STDs affected culture. Maybe someone wrote a graduate thesis like that already

Maybe Pompeii is still a bit like that. Who knows? Tbh, for the longest time, I had zero interest in western history.
Much of my interests were in eastern topics. Namely, just learning about different religions and ethnic groups in the Middle East. I guess topics surrounding
sexuality can sometimes be difficult to write about, especially in 2024. A part of western history and sexuality I do find interesting is the castrati. I was
shocked such a practice existed in fairly recent times and even more shocked that they were considered sex symbols.
