Anyway, I was wondering how an axe is superior to a sword historically?

You think it's superior form the stats here? No, it definitely isn't. What it does is do _more_ damage than a sword.
Compare:
Broadsword. dam 6, len 2, def +1
Axe dam 8, len 1
The sword is definitely the better all around weapon, but at least the axe has something going for it. If you manage to get into range 1 and land a hit, it will hurt more. It's "point" is the low resource cost. Compared to a sword an axe is a low tech affair.
