Chapter 653: Learn from Britain’s brilliant colonial rule
How can Italy compare to the Netherlands?
William IV was very disdainful of Italy. Now the Netherlands was transformed by him based on the British Empire. It can be said that the Netherlands followed the path of Britain in its previous life and developed to become a world leader. Italy is even considered the hegemon of Southern Europe.
If he failed to do so, William IV would naturally look down upon him.
In his previous life, William IV respected the Westernization of Queen Elizabeth's state funeral in 2022 and former Japanese Prime Minister Ann, who was also a member of the Group of Seven.
After analyzing the treatment of state funerals twice, the final conclusion is, how can the latter compare with the Queen of the British Empire?
Just like the state funerals of his mother Queen Zuofi and Emmanuel II of Italy.
Britain was once an empire on which the sun never set. It had the power of ships and artillery after the industrial revolution. In many colonies around the world, Union flags were flying everywhere. The 19th century became the British century, and then the 20th century became
In the same Anglo-Saxon American century, until the 21st century, white people have been commanding the world for more than 300 years.
The two consecutive Anglo-Saxon centuries had a profound impact on all aspects of the world.
As the saying goes, a centipeded insect never dies. The British Empire was in decline after the war, and the former colonies established themselves as new countries. However, the British came up with new ideas and established a commonwealth family.
For more than half a century since the beginning of the 19th century, the Queen of England has continued to exert her charm in various former colonies with her unique beauty, dignity, nobility and wisdom, while the Emperor of Japan has been forgotten by the world.
Perhaps the biggest difference between Britain and Japan lies in language, culture and systems.
The great thing about the British is that they first colonized every corner of the world, and then cultivated English-speaking elites in each colony. Through them, the British language, culture and political system took root locally.
In this regard, the Netherlands has also completed its language, culture, political system, etc. taking root in various parts of the world. Look at the Netherlands' allies such as Sweden, Denmark and other Nordic countries, as well as the Commonwealth of America, especially those that have always been very dependent on the Netherlands.
The South American allies were treated by William IV as a former British colony to cultivate the Dutch sphere of influence.
Nowadays, the Dutch language, Dutch culture and all Dutch institutions (except for the monarchy-constitutional system) have been firmly established in the local provinces. Dutch has almost become the second or third most spoken language among South American allies, along with France.
French became the language of the nobility/upper class in the former colonies in its previous life, and now Dutch has also become a language of nobility in South America, becoming a symbol of identity that highlights the status of many South American nobles or upper class in conversations.
Along with colonization, the Netherlands spread religion, which was also an extremely sharp brain project.
This brain project has transformed the Netherlands' current circle of allies in South America and the Netherlands into an ecological circle that is very beneficial to the Netherlands.
The same was true for the British Empire in the 20th century in its previous life.
In comparison, the Japanese language, Japanese pope and culture pale into insignificance. Even the Xiawen used by a large country in the Far East with a population of more than one billion pales in comparison to the influence of English in the world.
Italy is now far worse than Japan. After all, the latter's animation is famous around the world. Doraemon is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and is famous all over the world.
The same applies to the latter car brands, and its influence is not much weaker.
But what about Italy? After all, the name change to Italy started in 1861. Before that, the Kingdom of Sardinia was still a vassal state of the Austrian Empire.
Under the rule of later generations of scholars, during the heyday of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, the colonial area accounted for a quarter of the world's land area.
After World War II, the politics of most of the former British colonies that established themselves as independent countries were generally dominated by English-speaking elites, and Singapore was no exception. Even powerful countries such as India, the United States, Canada, Australia, etc.
exception.
These elites first received English education at home, and then received scholarships to study in the UK. Therefore, many of them are graduates of Cambridge University and the University of London. Although they oppose colonialism, most of them do not oppose the political system of the British Empire.
It is natural to strive for independence and continue the Westminster parliamentary democracy and civil service system after taking office.
In particular, they will use their specialty, English, as their administrative language. The elite among civil servants are generally sent to study in British universities. Therefore, they naturally become pro-British and have a disdain for the university that created them.
special feelings.
William IV was very aware of the benefits of the British system in his previous life, so after traveling to this world in 1857, he used this as a blueprint to build the influence of the Netherlands around the world, and the higher education in the Netherlands was built into a world brand.
, some time ago, Dutch universities occupied 14 of the top 50 international university rankings, which is the result of the efforts of William IV.
In particular, the University of Sydney and the University of Melbourne on the Australian continent in the Far East, as well as the University of Amsterdam in Europe, have been built by him over more than ten years to rank second, third and fifth among the world's universities.
It can be regarded as completely occupying the position of America in the previous life, and overthrowing the British dominance in the education world.
This has created a strong appeal. Currently, there is a detailed report in the hands of William IV. In 1857, there were less than 200 foreign students in Dutch universities. In 1867, the Netherlands had more than 200 foreign students from all over the world.
million, and then 290 years later, in 1877, the number of international students in Dutch universities from all over the world exceeded 100,000, laying a solid foundation for the Netherlands' influence in the world.
Not to mention Italy, even Britain during Queen Victoria's time is just unaware of it, and may even ridicule the Netherlands for allocating more than 25 million guilders (1 million pounds) from the Dutch Ministry of Finance every year in order to attract international students to come to the Netherlands.
budget to attract international students to study in the Netherlands.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The white British colonial rule in the previous life was indeed particularly clever. In addition to cultural brainwashing, the other most well-known skill is divide and rule. In this regard, the Japanese are
Unparalleled, of course the Japaneseists also know how to eliminate a nation, first of all to eliminate its language and culture, but they only know how to use strong military means to intimidate and force people to learn Japanese, and they also kill people like dogs.
, sowing indelible national hatred, it was only after it colonized the island for 50 years that it successfully enslaved some people ideologically, such as the person who died in 2020 and was successfully brainwashed by Japanese benx.
The flow of brilliance.
This was the reason why William IV admired Britain very much, and also why he judged that Italy was difficult to compare with Japan.
But Japan and the UK are even more difficult to compare.
Colonists are not good people, and the British colonial history is actually full of violence, especially when suppressing indigenous uprisings, their methods were even more cruel.
It turns out that North America, a colony of the British Empire, established itself as the United States of America after an arduous war. In her previous life, Caroline Elkins, a historian at Harvard University who specialized in studying Africans and African Americans, wrote about this in her "Violence"
"The Legacy" has detailedly traced the various atrocities of the British Empire, laying out the brutal military suppression of the Mao uprising in Kenya in 1952, as well as the methods used, including castration, etc.
During the internal torture and torture, the British army only used the same methods they had used to deal with a certain party in Malaysia, including implementing emergency laws, opening up "new villages" similar to ghettoization, and bringing more than one million Kenyan indigenous people into the country.
Locked inside, fighting, killing, imprisonment, starvation, disease, and ultimately tens of thousands of people died."
It was not until 2011 that some survivors of the Kenyan uprising successfully sued the British government in London. In the end, forced to maintain its moral image, the UK had to express deep regret for Kenya and stated that it would compensate the victims of that year 14 million pounds.
Use money to buy morals and maintain your image.
The British colonialists were also racist. They claimed that the purpose of colonization was to spread civilization to people of color. Black people in Africa were sold as slaves, so there were black slaves in the United States.
A great famine occurred in the British colony of India and Bangladesh in 2001. After receiving the report, the then British Prime Minister Churchill disdainfully said that Indians breed like rabbits, meaning that they would not starve to death.
.
However, the above are only a few of the many evils committed by Britain. What impressed William IV most was that after nearly 200 years of colonization of the world, Britain could still become the country that flaunts the ultimate human power in the world and must not be allowed to let go.
William IV and others found it incredible in their previous lives.
Regardless, as long as everyone calms down and observes, you will find that the ugly side of this colonial empire seems to have been successfully bleached by Yinli-Shabai-er-er-the queen who left in 2020 with her own charm and beauty. Many of them
It is amazing that people from the former colonies are grateful and proud of being their subjects even after being assimilated.
William IV knew that a veteran actor from a certain port in a world-renowned financial city wrote on his social media account: "Under her protection, a certain port has become a blessed place on earth, etc."
I wonder which other woman in the world at that time had such ability? However, the cycle of ups and downs in history cannot be reversed by human power. With the death of the Queen of England in 2022, the Queen of England, who can be called a strange woman in the 20th century, the United Kingdom
The national destiny of the country has probably come to an end. Anyway, before William IV crossed over, Britain had almost become a local power, and it still needed to take advantage of the world's popularity.
However, Queen Elizabeth appointed 15 British Prime Ministers in her lifetime. Since Churchill, the British national power has declined. Except for Mrs. Thatcher, the subsequent Prime Ministers can be said to be inferior to each other. This Queen
His son, Prince Charmous, worked as a prince for more than 70 years before he had the opportunity to ascend the throne. It seems that it will be difficult for him to carry forward his mother's great cause.
