Why do some mountainous regions of the world have a history of violence and others not? For example, the mountains of Afghanistan and Pakistan for thousands of years, people have known for fierce and violent. The Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States is also known for a history of violence, with family quarrels, as murderers between Hatfield and McCoy.
However, the Rockies do not have that kind of story. Nor has the Himalayas to the invasion of China.
What is there on some mountainous regions that promotes violence?
For many years all the men in the Rockies wore a gun and some use it to save lives. Eventually the area became civilized as good citizens moved in. The problem with violence in mountainous areas is that they are isolated and are often the last areas of a country become civilized.
Violence B / C is called by the values and attitudes of people, not geography.
It is not only the mountainous regions which are distinguished by crowds at war, they exist in cities because they were associated with him throughout the ages, like minded individuals then use this region for this reason.
