The Birth of a Nation from an existing one

Egotistical Superiority

Northern and Southern people don't hate each other. The hate is in specific extremist minorities in Northern Ireland. Half the population is Catholic and the other half is Protestant. Catholics usually prefer to be categorized as Irish and Nationalist (or more extremists as Republican), while Protestants usually prefer to be categorized as British and Unionist (or more extremists as Loyalist). This friction was created by Britain and ironically, the Irish can't fix it.

In what was to become Northern Ireland, the lands of the independent Catholic Gaelic nobility were confiscated and given to Protestant settlers from England and Scotland. This is similar to what Truman, Britain and the United Nations did when they imperialistically took Palestinian land and gave it to Jews for the creation of Israel.

England, as usual, screwed up Ireland when they intervened in that nation and couldn't win the southern area. England then shipped in Scotts to Northern Ireland to help cement English control. The resulting killings and extremism--because of English politics and religion--still leaves the nation divided. Divide, create chaos and conquer.

Britain has screwed up many nations with their imperialism and trying to inflict their culture and language upon the conquered nations. Spain has done the same thing. Most people think of South Americans as Spanish but they were not originally. The Spanish went into S.A., conquered the people, stole their gold, gave them diseases and a new language all under the auspice of 'founding a new country.' They use the word 'found' instead of 'invade and ravage' to make people believe they are doing a good thing.

Look at this time line of the Spanish conquest of South America. The tactics used here by Europeans is used over and over again, even today.

And the pattern is used over and over again. The tactics the Spanish used, including the Popes, are the same as England's and France's. These tactics were also used in the United States during the mid-1900s, when foreigners began pouring into the United States not as legal immigrants, but as 'political refugees,' 'illegals' and later as professionals and engineers taking American jobs. But this time it isn't the Imperialists of old doing it.

Machiavelli was right: It is easier to injure a kind man because he cannot hurt you.
