Canadian European History

The history of Europe, or the history of white people, has a lot of killing in it. A lot of wars and killing all through it. We learn this as children. Killing and riding around in boats into other countries. The Germans started it with sacking Rome. (Rome was a Gypsy empire, which was eventually pushed back and contained into present day Romania.) The Vikings went out and raised hell. Then the Crusaders went over to the Holy Land and killed its inhabitants. Someone showed them gunpowder and they got that working with their church bells just in time for the discovery of America and its inhabitants. All their seafaring, combined with gunpowder, gave them an edge on other, less aggressive civilizations. Pirates were cool once, back when they were gathering up today's principle bank assets in the Western world. I learned it in grade three. Not like the pirates of today. This was back in the 1600's. But the white men had the good sense to point the guns at each other, for the most part, in their mad competitions for global influence. This seemed to largely be the case for the empires of the eighteenth to the twentieth century, with the policy shifting since Hiroshima, Korea, Viet Nam, and, of course, Iraq and Afghanistan - though the last two were more a white man's initiative than his effort. I can't help laughing when I hear the British or Anglo-Americans of today criticizing empire building. We're all done, so no one else better start doing it.
