Good effort and a very well written essay. You should check out the work of Peter Turchin - the founder of the field of cliodynamics. He marries mathematics with history and comes up with some really intriguing conclusions. I believe he also has a public blog, which might be of interest to you. As the saying goes “history doesn’t exactly repeat, but it sure as hell rhymes”.

Thank you! We will definitely check it out that sounds really informative. It’s definitely interesting to think that parallels could be drawn between history and maths, but on reflection that makes sense! Aha that saying is great, we’ve never heard it before
