As long as there are differences, there will be disputes. One side always wants to persuade the other side to obey its own ideology and assimilate people with different ideas. Throughout the ages, verbal criticism can be seen everywhere in literary works, but the most straightforward way to deal with it is still the universal war that human beings do not want to face, which runs through the historical process. War is still the most effective way to deal with disputes between different civilizations.
West Asia (North Africa) is the most intense and far-reaching region of this great collision of civilizations. From the ancient Egyptian Empire, the Babylonian Empire, the Persian Empire, the Aegean civilization, the Roman Empire and so on, the war has never stopped in this land. Even in modern times, it is still the most disputed area in the world, and no civilization can truly complete the reunification of that place.
This situation is caused by the unique geographical location of West Asia. This place lies at the junction of Europe, Africa and Asia. The struggle between different nationalities, races and ideologies on three continents can be described as tragic, with winners and losers. However, judging from the current situation, the influence of African civilization on this place has withdrawn from the historical stage. Egyptians can't read the words of their ancestors, and they have to rely on foreign experts to decipher them. The people here are actually.
At this stage in West Asia (North Africa), all countries are under the control of western powers, and the United States has the deepest control over this region, and the people of West Asia are also struggling. Unfortunately, there are too many internal contradictions, so we have to let nature take its course.
In Europe, after the demise of the Western Roman Empire, the European continent was a bit like China's Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, where vassal states fought against each other and tried to establish a national process belonging to the same nation and culture. The French Empire, the Kingdom of England, the Kingdom of Spain and Germany were all established during this period. However, history failed to produce a great first emperor like China in Europe. Even though they were better than the kings, emperors Napoleon and Hitler in various periods in France, they all failed because of geographical factors, cultural differences and climate differences in Europe.
In fact, Europe is much like East Asia, Britain is like Japan, and the interior of Europe is like Chinese mainland. The difference is that the landlocked countries in Europe have never been unified, while Chinese mainland has been unified. Similarly, both island countries have learned the advanced inland culture. At that time, only the upper-class aristocrats in Britain were qualified to speak French, just like the Japanese who wrote Chinese characters, they all went to the world before the inland. They all have vast colonies and are all related to the sun. The British Empire claims that the sun never sets, while Japan directly puts on the self-righteous sun flag. Unfortunately, both countries were defeated by the United States and the colonies fell apart. These two countries have basically become vassals of the present American imperialists.
Interestingly, Russia and Mongolia are both obstacles to the unification of Europe and Chinese mainland, while the conquerors in Western Europe are single-minded. I can ignore the island country (Britain), but I must defeat you before Russia can be unified. Unfortunately, contrary to expectations, Napoleon and Hitler both fell into the snow and ice of Maoxiong.
Comparatively speaking, the monarch of China is much smarter. You Mongols and Huns are just barbarians, not orthodox in the Central Plains, and the monarch of that place in China also scoffed, which is totally useless. Of course, the fighting capacity of the northern nationalities should also be one of the factors. I think that Emperor Wudi's Northern Expedition was just to drive them away, and they made a comeback a few years later. In fact, in the final analysis, it is because of the terrain and climate. The Central Plains could not colonize that area, and finally had to build the Great Wall.
The same is true of Russia in Western Europe. Russia has always had the idea of entering the Central Plains like Xiongnu, which is something that Europe should always guard against. However, Russia is not as good at fighting as Xiongnu and Mongolia. Napoleon and Hitler misjudged the situation and thought that Russia could be conquered in an instant, but they didn't expect Russia's geographical depth and climatic conditions to make them completely defeated. Both the French Empire and the German Empire were completely defeated under the attack of Britain and Russia.
