Once group theorists realized that such long arguments could work, a series of papers that were several hundred pages long started to appear." | |

I did scan through that Wikipedia article prior to asking this question and should probably read it more thoroughly now. It is indeed a very detailed article and does address some aspects of my question. However, there are certain aspects of my question that the article does not address, and certain aspects that the article does not discuss in complete detail. But thanks anyway! | |
