If you think about it History is sort of a series of various Wanks. This is what gives us things like (for example) the Roman Empire. The English Empire. Ect ect. If you want to think of it this way then realy things had to go pretty drastically in favor of one country or the other to allow this to happen.
The country needs to have the right technology at the right moment or it needs a certain weather pattern or it needs a genius military commander to be at a spicific battle (or battles) The list of things goes on and on. Eventually in order to get a dominant country in a given area (or in England’s case almost everywhere) at a given time usually takes a great many of these types of things coming together at the same basic time and place. This creates the dominant culture or government that we see. Be that the dominance of the US in the Mid to late 1900s or China back in the day or the Mongol Hoard.
So when looked at history is nothing but a bunch of wanks that favored various countries or cultures throughout history.
Now in the more traditional definition as we tend to use it here non of these are truly wanks as usually a wank is more often viewed as a timeline created to spicificly create a given outcome. The difference is that if you start with a point of departure and let it flow naturally from there it is not a wank.
But if you basically have an outcome in mind and manipulate as much as needed to get the desired result it is a wank.
The easiest way to detect this from the outside reader is if you read a timeline where a rediculus number of things go in the way needed to achieve the result. The more improbable these events are the more the timeline appears to be a wank.
