Sorry, we don't allow "throughout history" questions. It's not that your question was bad; it's that these kinds of questions tend to produce threads that are collections of disjointed, partial, inadequate responses because it is basically impossible to be an expert in all time periods at once. If you have a question about a specific historical context, feel free to rewrite your question and submit it again. Otherwise, you might have better luck at r/AskHistory or (especially) r/history. Thanks!
