"Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung" in its issue dated 5 09 1983 reported on the scandal, which broke through, who like to have their own opinion, the leader of London Ken Livingstone Labour. He said in Dublin television: "This is what Great Britain did the Irish within 800 years, is worse than what Hitler did to the Jews, except that the British dung beetle for sale gave himself for it more time." What lies behind this saying can be understood only one who knows the bloody intertwining history dung beetle for sale of Anglo-Irish (but knew her not only from the point of view of English historians, usually a bit of beauty history of his country). Ken Livingston of these "800 years" is not simply shook the sleeve only accurately counted. English interventions on the neighboring dung beetle for sale island of Ireland were constant element of English politics since the time of the first king of the Plantagenet dynasty of England, dung beetle for sale Henry II (1154-1189). What are the motives concealed behind the permanent dung beetle for sale onslaught?
Initially, these were the most ordinary in the world of barbaric instincts of the robbers. From the time when the late seventh dung beetle for sale and eighth centuries Ireland became the cultural center of the West and at the same time a rich country, it is worth plundering. From the moment when England began to gradually transformed into a modern state, changed the method, but the objective remains the same. Today must say that admirable world of English castles and gardens, rich cultural residential England and its fabulous museums are the result of English colonial empire. But still there is something "shocking" reckoning for his composition of the "white" colony of Ireland, which until the nineteenth century mercilessly squeezed the last penny, and which in the twentieth century, won her independence dung beetle for sale bloody uprisings.
English very early guided the motives of a more general nature, namely, strategic, related to the construction and expansion dung beetle for sale within its empire. When foreign policy focused on continental Europe, would have protected the rear. Ireland at any price were not allowed to become a point of support for marine rivals England: Spain and France (both greed and the pursuit of enlarging his own power were also likely motives underlying the genocide of the Dutch Moluccas).
Too many times taken by the English attempts of destruction Irish But there is far more. Committed by them on the Green Island genocide occupies a special place in a number of modern genocide, because its roots lie deep in the convoluted basement hallways of the human soul. 2 "Alternative race"
Ireland from its historical origins dung beetle for sale was "a special case". Compared with its surroundings always behaved strikingly "different." From the beginning beat of her fascinating power both in terms of attraction and repulsion. This difference often tried to clarify. Some saw it celtyckości (although dung beetle for sale according to anthropologists population of the island even before the first landing of the Germans was not purely Celtic). Others again, they saw it in the fact that Ireland is the only Catholic country within the Anglo-Saxon world. How does this relate to the "Gallic culture" of the Irish, which had so long resisted, that was drowned in blood only during the massacres of Cromwell and his "Commonwealth" (1649-1653)? Ludwig Bieler in the beautiful reconstruction dung beetle for sale of the early period of the flowering of the culture - Ireland, precursor of the Middle Ages (Irland - Wegbreiter des Mittelalters, Olten 1961) - indicates its source. It is essential to have the fact that no Roman never set his foot on the Irish island. Ireland is "the first and only country in ancient times, where Christianity is not reached in the footsteps of Roman colonists." Besides, was Christianized without the use of violence and (almost) no martyrs). Population voluntarily adopted dung beetle for sale a new science, and the early Church rewanżował to that adopted local spiritual heritage. Thus, Ireland became the only country in which, in contrast to Brittany and Wales, Celtic culture for centuries, it is free to develop.
The Celts know little, because their culture has been passed down orally, and are reluctant to give up the rigid codification of the written record. In the culture of oral sages students communicate their knowledge orally. Spiritual message must be formed again and again, it solidifies into written characters. Such spontaneous and "creative" approach, of course, occurred dung beetle for sale in all areas of life. Top unless this phenomenon was captured in the classic position on Ireland, written in the Wilhelmine era: a two-volume work of English colonization in Ireland (Die englische Kolonisation in Irland, Stuttgart 1906, p 400), by 33-year-old economist Moritz Julius Bonna (1873 - 1965). This book, which is his postdoctoral work, is still the basis for research into the history of Ireland dung beetle for sale from the more "niew
