That makes totally sense to me. Most of the times you hear stories about knights and Napoleon but they never talk about the technical reasons why the world actually decided to go right rather than left. Nice video

Thank you, it requires a bit of digging and consulting all the sources. Of course you find no trace of the truth in the English ones, they only blame Napoleon and sometimes Hitler too 😝

Ylou got most of the way, but I could only write this answer in the last couple of months. You were right to mention empire, but the key factor was this was being shaped by Victorian Britain. The Romans went on the left and the rise of the British empire was in many ways trying to be the modern successor. In British schools, for example, the time after the collapse of the Romans in the 4th Century was called the "Dark Ages", because Europe returned to "savagery" once the order of empire was removed. One of the key reasons to go on the right was multi-horse long distance wagons were more controllable - such circumstances didn't exist on the British Isles and this ment the public had no concept of the type of travel and it's implications.

That’s right, once again the right hand was the reason to move to the right in America.
