The power of the new world
Posted in General on April 28th, 2010 by RaviIn the 15th century, Europe was expanding. India fell for that, but thats a sad story. It happened to several other countries in the world too. Every one of them were completely ripped off, and were given a grand independence, and the countries had nothing of their own at the time of independence.
During this expansion process, the Europeans found a new land. A really huge island the size of 2 continents, lying in the middle of two vast oceans. Colombus discovered it, but it was named after Amerigo Vespucci. Thats another sad story, as this guy Amerigo wasn’t even the captain of the ship that he claims to have commanded.
A good area of the northern part of the island went on to become the United States of America. The place was controlled by Europe, and without telephones and internet in those days, despite the freedom struggle in the whole of the continent, the Europeans gave these countries independence.
And now, the United States claims to be the most powerful country in the world. A complete monopoly, well, at least after the fall of the USSR.
This country came up after wiping out a whole race of people, the vast sects of the Natives. They still exist, but they have christian names now.
These people don’t play football, the way the rest of the world does. They have an oval shaped ball and is played with rules that are completely against the rules of regular football. They don’t play cricket, they play baseball, which is similar, but a completely different game. They call it a free country.
American cars, American planes, and even American Standard toilets that are completely different from what you see in the rest of th world.
When they had and economic crisis, the whole world felt the reverberations. They control the whole world, except perhaps the few offshore countries and tax havens like the British Virgin Islands and Turkey.
Even a simple office assistant takes home $20 an hour, thats $160 a day… thats a lot of money in my country, but I really can’t think of any other country that pays as much.
