Baseball's origins are heavily disputed, but it is generally agreed to be an outgrowth of earlier, traditional bat and ball games in [[Levantia]], such as {{wp|rounders}} in what would become [[Burgundie]] and {{wp|stoolball}} in [[Urcea]]. These bat and ball games were popular in the medieval period and often played as a form of diversion and merriment during feast days, especially Easter. Despite the [[Recess of the Julii]] affecting geopolitical relations between members of the Holy Levantine Empire during the 19th century, cultural exchange became much more frequent. Additionally, the growth of cities - a consequence of the industrial revolution - brought together large groups of former peasants in cities throughout Levantia, mingling and mixing older, local traditions. According to the majority of baseball historians, out of this admixture came an ever-changing set of rules and game fundamentals through the early 1820s and 30s as industrial workers sought diversion. Two fundamental events followed this early chaotic period that established the modern game of baseball.
