For centuries, European countries battled
the Huns, the Visigoths, the Vikings, the bubonic plague, the Muslims and each
other.
After the fall of the Roman Empire in 400,
Europe established the feudal system of government, with Kings, Queens,
Bishops, Knights, Castles and pawns. Chess was very popular. The pawns were
illiterate, but useful as foot-soldiers, bowmen, serving wenches and
agricultural serfs.
The royals liked to have their royal
families intermarry to gain military alliances, trade deals and land. So, it became common for royals in allied
countries to marry each other.
It worked reasonably well, but European
politics entangled the Catholic Pope to become a “royal” and support the
“divine right of kings” hoax. In 1095, the Pope promoted the “Crusades” to take
Jerusalem away from the Muslims. The Pope created the “Knights Templar to
provide secure banking practices and defense for “Pilgrims” to visit Jerusalem.
The Muslims invaded Spain in 711 and attacked France in 719 and Italy in
876. Europe in 1200, but they were run
out of Spain in the 1492.
In the 1500s, Spanish royals sent Jesuits
to America to convert the natives and set up farms. The Portuguese followed up
by taking the farms from the natives and enslaving them. The Pope was pressured
to approve and he ordered the Jesuits allow it. The Protestant Reformation in
the 1500s ended the Catholic monopoly of Europe.
Queen Victoria ruled of Great Britain from
1837 to 1876. She married a German Royal, Prince Albert and they had 9
children, who they married off to run other countries like Russia and Germany
In 1914, Austria-Hungary attacked Serbia,
because a Yugoslavian had assassinated the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne.
Today, they would have executed the assassin for murder, but instead
Austria-Hungary invaded Serbia.
Serbia had a treaty with Germany, so they
entered the war on the side of Austro-Hungary. France had a treaty with Serbia
and declared war on Austro-Hungary and Germany. Britain had a treaty with
France, so they joined the fray and Russia joined in to fight Germany. The King
of Germany and the Russian Czar were brothers and were sons of Queen Victoria.
So much for nepotism. The US provided
loans and military equipment to the France and Britain, Germany took over most
of the fighting and the war ground into a stalemate.
The US finally entered the war in 1917
with the theme song “Over There”, sent thousands of troops and defeated Germany
in 1918. That ended the non-intervention policy of the US.
World War I was devastating to all
involved. Woodrow Wilson created the “League of Nations” to prevent future
wars, but the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I put Germany in a
permanent depression.
World War I also devastated Russia.
Russian Communists deposed the Czar, killed the royal family, outlawed private
property rights and set up a Communist government. Investors left Russia,
leaving them with no private sector and that put Russia in a permanent
depression.
In 1936, Adolph Hitler took over Germany
to establish his brand of “National Socialism”. Hitler supported private
property rights, but ended all other rights. Like the Communists, he set up the
State to replace Religion. Hitler’s military build-up was not effectively
challenged by neighboring countries and he was able to ally with Mussolini, the
Italian socialist leader to begin to plan his conquest of pacifist Europe.
In 1938, Hitler annexed Austria. In 1939
Hitler invaded Poland. In 1940 Hitler invaded Belgium, Netherlands and
France. In 1941, Hitler invaded
Yugoslavia, Greece and Russia.
In 1945, Europe was devastated and needed
to be rebuilt. The US was untouched and became the manufacturer for the world.
In the 1950s, Europe embraced socialism
and was absorbed by the UN creature, the EU in 1989.
In 2013, the Second Muslim invasion of
Europe advanced The Syrian war and the Arab Spring destabilization created a
migrant population the EU ordered to migrate to all European countries who
would take them. This war is coming to a head.
