Donald Trump Quotes

Paine was describing the conquest of England in 1066 by William the Conqueror.

The Daneish had conquered Northern England. The entire history—manuscript shown in the graphic—was written in rhymed couplets.

When the British first colonized South Africa, the area they used was not inhabited or very sparcely so. However, some Black tribes (including the Zulus) were moving from the north and themselves were colonizing or annexing the sparcely populated areas to their kingdom. The British were most interested in Trading so did not have large land asperations. The Dutch white Boer Africanners, in contrast, wanted to farm the lands and use the range for their cattle. They wanted the land. The English policy was that there would be friendly relations with the Black tribes surrounding their Cape Colony and no one should take their land. However the Boers started attacking the Black areas and seizing their farms and villages. At first, the English assumed that the Blacks would easily be able to ward off the invasion as the Afrikanners had no professional troops like the British. However, the neighboring native tribes were not very warlike or good fighters. They were being overrun by the Zulus coming from the North and the Boers from the South. The British Government had a real problem in that they would have to have British soldiers fight the white Afrikanners if they wanted to stop the illegal white invasions. This was the root of the Boer War where the British would be fully at war with the Africanners.

Jefferson was not the only one who thought that taking Canada and driving the English out would be relatively easy as Canada was vast and the English troops were spread very thin. However, although the English had great strategic weakness, the American officers who led the Canadian effort were not very competent and made a series of terrible tactical decisions and the Canadian operation failed in a terrible fiasco.

This is one of the best examples of the Mongol Terror Tactics. They had a completely mobile fighting force. They could evade any large army and attack fixed towns and villages, while opponents could not defend all the locations without enormous expense. The calculus was often that it was cheaper to pay the Mongols tribute than it was to even beat them in the field. In this case, the Hungarians settled and a Mongol satellite group—the Cumans (Western Kipchaks)—moved into Hungary and have been a minority there ever since.

The specific context of the quotation was the Navaho Indians enmity towards Kit Carson which extends to the present.

Halsey was a big supporter of the use of the Atom Bomb against Japan. His ships had battled the Japanese navy from Pearl Harbor to Japan’s eventual surrender and had seen the cruelty of the Japanese occupation and aggression throughout the Pacific. His ships were the first to be sunk by Kamikaze suicide pilots at the Battle of Leyte Gulf where over 3000 American sailors were killed in the battle that finally destroyed the Japanese Navy’s ability to wage war.

He conquered Korea in an act of blatant aggression, but got bogged down in a complicated occupation. He died before the Chinese part of the plan could be carried out. However, ever since China, Korea and other Asian countries have distrusted Japan and her aggressive intentions and history. The horrible Japanese record of aggression and atrocities of WWII solidified that anti-Japanese sentiment which still exists to some extent.

He was a realist who foresaw that even though the South had been militarily defeated, there were those who would persist in their efforts to retain slavery or a de facto form where freedom is the form but subjugation was the substance. It would be Jim Crowe and terrorism in the form of the KKK and a successor to Lincoln who was very sympathetic to the aims and culture of the Southern Rebels.

The Newspaper acknowledged that the conquest of Mexico was tantamount to a rape, but the editors were convinced that the Mexicans would be very happy once they were in the American orbit. In almost every case in American history where we invaded and occupied a country, the political leadership, most of Congress, and many American citizens were convinced that American freedom and democracy were so much better than any other form of government that the conquered people would not only welcome the Americans but would voluntarily reorganize their governmental structures to have a democracy. While there were always some people in each country who did feel that way, the majority rarely did, much to American surprise.

This was not the ravings of a right wing extremist. It was normative for Prussia as a whole. Right wing extremism as we think of it today was the norm of the ruling classes in Prussia and other parts of Germany. This book was a best seller in Germany. This quotation illustrates the mentality of the conservative, militarist, culture that dominated Germany at the time. The German aggression of WWI was not even considered as immoral but a God-given right.
