Thanks for the reply. I understand, but do you think that migration/immigration has any effect on either slowing down or speeding up a turn and not necessarily just "resetting" it?John wrote:Dear Thomas,
A mass migration or relocation of an entire population destroys the
generational relationships that existed prior to the relocation, and
causes a "first turning reset," which means that the population enters
a first turning Recovery Era, irrespective of whatever turning they
were in when the relocation began.

Also, i'm reading a book right now that goes into detail about the last great Caliphate - the Ottoman Empire. I would assume that GD does not apply to religions as a whole, but in the case of Islam, it appears as if the whole of Islam (the Ummah) is entering a new crisis phase that isn't necessarily restricted to regional GD influences. Would you agree?
