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?
