Eugene 2.0 Britain has always been a nation of adventurers and traders.
They went to India simply to trade. The wealth acquired by
those Indians they traded with, inspired jealousy.
Moreover Britain's naval trade-routes inadvertently cut off
much profit made by those that owned the land-trade routes.
These were mostly middle-men that simply charged the traders
to pass through their roads.
So honest success brought jealousy. The British troops
were at first used simply to protect their trade interests,
mostly from the Moguls who had initially conquered India,
but the Moguls also lost out from the new naval trade-routes.
However, the British troops being superior were simply
hired by the local Hindu leaders to help them in these
conflicts. These were never conquests of aggression
but simply to try and stabilize a society that had been
plagued by endless wars since long before they arrived.
There is no way that India would ever have been unified
without the power of the British navy. This process is
easily verified because after ww2, whenever a place
wanted independence, Britain withdrew because that
would be better for trade.
Britain has never had a large land army, as that was
never useful in a nation of sea-traders.
Its the same dynamic that made the Vikings so successful,
but also hated by the Saxons in Britain. Most of the
'history' of that conflict in Britain itself is false,
just as so much of 'history' about Britain today is based
on envy.
And the same thing is said about America.
Every time they win a war they give the country back to the
locals they reckon will help them with trade in the future.
And that is what makes them all so successful.
But it makes others envious and thus they fabricate lies.
