One academic assignment which has stuck with me from my studies was answering the question of why Europe became the dominant power of the world. After all, looking at the year 1500, it seemed obvious that the Chinese and the Ottoman Empires were wealthier and more powerful than Europe, not least because the Europeans insisted on remaining divided rather than uniting into a single empire. The dreams of Charlemagne and Charles V thus denied, it seemed as though the princes and kings of this peninsula would continue to be outshone by the Turks and the Chinese.
Despite outward appearances, however, the seeds were already planted for the amazing rise of Europe and its peoples to the heights of wealth, power, and influence, planting flags and spreading ideas to the whole globe, such that the planet is undeniably a world shaped by European leaders and thinkers.
At first glance, the discovery of the New World by early explorers seems to be a quick answer for many people. However, this does not get to the root of the divergence, as it takes for granted that Europe had produced these great explorers and conquerors. The Spanish crown’s support for Columbus’s voyage did not occur in a vacuum, but in the context of the great Portuguese excursions around Africa and Asia in order to reach China.
What drove the quest for new lands and new riches was the competition between the European powers, a source for the continent’s greatest achievements and most tragic disasters. While the Ottoman and Chinese empires could largely rest on their laurels internally, the European powers were constantly struggling against each other to develop innovations in technology, tactics, and statecraft. As a result, the ossified East became far-outstripped by the dynamic West in a historically short period of time.
Today, that dynamism within European peoples seems largely to be a thing of the past. Since the end of the Second World War, the vast majority of the globe has enjoyed, or suffered, the Pax Americana as a single hegemon operated at a level of power and influence that would inspire jealousy in any leader before. For all of the complaints of the European Union and other vassals, the American empire has maintained a strong grip that, until recently, seemed unshakable – and even now appears quite durable. Growing up in the shadow of the colossus of Washington, D.C. has bred the idea that this situation is not only a norm, but a desirable one at that.
The Civil War and the tradition of unconditional surrender for America’s enemies has developed the common wisdom that the United States is an ever-expanding empire, with no exits allowed. Perhaps it is a legacy of Mr. Lincoln’s war that we in the north are less sympathetic to the idea of secession than the Southrons. When many dissidents speak of what comes after the fall of our current regime, they speak in metaphors of the Spanish Reconquista, where enemies will be allowed only a temporary reprieve before being swept out of the country, if not the continent – if not the hemisphere – and we are united under one government once again.
Leaving aside the question of achievability, is this goal even advisable? It is not enough to be White. There has to be something stronger bonding a people together, a shared culture, history, and sense of place. It was not for blood alone but for blood and soil that the Germans fought in the cataclysms of the 20th century.
Creating a White Imperium is putting the cart far, far in front of the horse when our people are in the state that they are in. What guarantee is there that a vast empire would be a better defender of our people and our future than a smaller unit? Arguments for the economic and military power of a colossus invite the question of whom this power is benefitting? A unitary power risks coming under the sway of a clique of bad actors, such as has happened with the current American Empire, and then that might is directed against us and our people. Were we in the driver’s seat of this empire, we can tell ourselves that we would operate differently, but we are not, and it is unlikely that we will be able to seize the levers of power of the apparatus as it stands.
When the late Roman Empire was overstretched, degenerate, and threatened by the Huns, its constituent parts sought to establish greater autonomy and protect their own interests and people. Far from leading to Western Europe rolling over in the face of Atilla’s unified horde, the diffusion of power and authority gave the people of Europe new life and energy with which they were able to turn back the Hunnic tide.
Our people were saved by the realization that there is a time to draw together and a time to disperse. The overlords of our empire are in a state of decline as well, and the perfect fantasy of redeeming the entire country to our people and our cause can be the enemy of the good that seeking autonomy and freedom from this crumbling edifice can provide.
A beautiful panoply of nations can be birthed from this husk, if they can be given the chance to develop.
Not quite right.
The emperors of the so called ‘Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation’ actually were the protectors of the Christian faith and the defenders of the Reich against all invaders…
For a thousand+ years!
From 800 AD to 1806 AD – Karl der Große (King Charles the Great) was crowned in AACHEN cathedral.
Another cultural center was PRAGUE in Bohemia, an eastern part of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. The first German university was founded in Prague, Heidelberg came later.

Traditionally the elected German King was later crowned Kaiser (emperor) by the Pope in Rome. This tradition lasted until 1806 AD, when the power-hungry Freemason Napoleon Bonaparte took over and crowned himself emperor… Napoleon invaded and militarily occupied the divided German lands (and did much damage… he freed ‘the Beast’ by giving equal civil rights to the Jews 😱😱😱), and he invaded even Russia (for the Jewish Freemasonic masters)… capitalizing on the weakened power of the German Kings and the weakened Papacy, both ravaged through a thirty-years war among the Catholic and Protestant Christians… The Lutheran Reformation had divided Christianity, and brought lots of devastation and division over Europe…
Division means weakness – UNITY IS STRENGTH.
That is what the Germans experienced through history. Only strong military forces can defend and protect land and folk.
1871, The German nation was finally unified under Kaiser Wilhelm I – Deutsches Kaiserreich (1871 – 1919)
1914, WWI was forced upon the German Kaiser, and finally ended the German monarchy through Jewish conspiracy behind the scenes: 1916 The German Kaiser’s peace proposals were refused by the British government. The secret 1916/17 Rothschild-Balfour Deal prevented peace and escalated the European war into WWI by dragging the powerful United States of America in… in order to totally defeat and destroy the militarily successful German Kaiserreich, and to give Palestine to the Jews in return – to create a “Jewish homeland” there. In 1948, Rothschild ‘Israel’ was founded, after a Second WW had been forced upon Hitler and the German nation…
FRANCE: Jewish Freemasonry had undermined France, staged the “French” Revolution and taken over the power of government (Deep State). The French monarchy had been abolished and a French (Jewish dominated) “Republic” was founded (“liberte – fraternite – egalite”) The ruse of Jewish “demoncracy” was put in place…
1919-1933 “Weimar Republic” – Jewish demoncracy, degeneracy, perversity called “diversity”…
1933-1945 Hitler’s National Socialist Germany – ‘The Third Reich’ brought freedom from Jewish degeneracy, tyranny, debt slavery…
1940, Hitler’s peace proposals to England were ignored. The Zionist Jews did not want peace between the British and the Germans, they wanted the total destruction of the German Reich and the EXTERMINATION of the German people…
1941, the Americans were dragged in a second time to join the war efforts… and the ALL LIES did very successfully what the Jewish masters wanted them to do…
Since 1945, Jewish demoncracy rules again… The Germans are enslaved again, one third of ancient German lands were stolen, the rest quartered, permanently occupied
And the All Lies keep celebrating themselves as the “good ones”, as “Heroes of the Good War” – which never ended… 😱😱😱
PS: As you do not like “wallpapier comments” (short attention span & Americans offen say: “I do not care!”) I would like to remind you that we Germans are not asked either if we like to be plastered with American wallpaper… If we like being Americanized…
We rather prefer our own way of life to the American nightmare! As everyone else we want to live in freedom… which is made impossible as long as we are militarily, politically, culturally occupied…
My impression: The men on this ‘Amerikaner’ site obviously have some difficulty in handling inconvenient truths & ‘German directness’ (= not rudeness)
Hence – If you censor/wipe out my comment (as others before) Don’t worry – I won’t care either! American men seem to be quite ‘weird’… behave in a weak manner if they are not seen as the ‘heroes’ they see themselves
Blah blah blah – As I said before, you are not telling any of us anything we don’t already know. Why are you not getting this? Do I need to write it in German?
Das alles wissen wir bereits. Du bist eine lächerliche selbstgefällige fotze.
You are not welcome!
Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?!
Nein, aber es steht dir frei dich sofort zu verpissen
The article makes sense. Succession is the only viable path forward, a tactical retreat.
To the German friend, Europe must free itself of jewish tyrrany. Not by succession, as those lands are ancestral, but by unity.
I imagine a day when America and Europe are united, under a pan-European banner, where we become the masters and stewards of the earth once again.
