Both pieces today are about events where the immediate violence is well-documented but the longer-term consequences are harder to account for. The Mongol Empire: how the world's most destructive conquest created the most connected trade era of the medieval period. The Pax Mongolica was real and significant. So was the Black Death it enabled. You can't take one without the other. The Partition of India: how five weeks of boundary-drawing created conditions for decades of conflict. Cyril Radcliffe burned his papers. The problems he left behind are still being argued over 75 years later. History doesn't resolve into lessons neatly. These two are about as messy as it gets.
