Among the Western nations Great Britain is by far the oldest and has been the most stable. Britain has stood unconquered and independent of outside force or influence for one thousand years since the Norman Conquest, which in many ways was a conquest of the Normans by Anglo-Saxon England.
In contrast, Germany was not unified until 1871. Italy in 1861. The United States did not exist until 1776 or 1789 when they got the Constitution in place which defined the government. 1789 was the year that France destroyed her unification with the French Revolution and became permanently unstable.
Older peoples than the British–the Persians and the Chinese–have existed on more than one occasion under outside control. Persia, known to us today as Iran, did not achieve its present day liberation until 1979. China achieved its independence from foreign domination under Mao in the 20th century. France has so many political parties that its governments are coalitions.
Why are British intellectuals determined to erase the British from history, and when did it start?
