"Sure random things like weather, hailstorms, attitudes, etc have had massive influence on the course of struggles(and by extension the momentum of human history) but it was never the determining factor in the embittered struggle for domination over the human mind."
Of course it has. Individual deaths are caused by weather all the time. Tsunamis? Hurricanes? Volcanic eruption? Whole civilisations have been destroyed by those things before now. Ever heard of Pompei? A whole city, decimated by effectively random volcanic eruption.
I've searched and searched my mind for a common factor, but I just can't find one. Therr are too many examples, too many variables for them to have anything in common.
