text: Tragically, it succeeded, leaving North America deeply divided into Anglo- and Hispanospheres with different levels of social development, despite the continent’s shared civilization, geography, and Indigenous past.

According to the philosopher Karl Jaspers, the Axial Age encompassed 800-200 B.C.E., with a center at approximately 500.²⁵ Jaspers used the epithet "Axial" because this epoch heralded fundamental and revolutionary changes in human social, religious, and intellectual history.
