--- Quote from: Lost Angel on January 26, 2005, 06:37:57 PM ---the British invented the Divide and Conquer stratigy of war. For centuries, Jews and Muslims lived in peace in the Middle East (I can't believed I typed that in that way, oh well) and went centuries without war. It was England that seperated the two after World War II. In India, the Muslims and Hindus lived in peace for ever and a day, but the freedom movement lead by Ghandi was countered by the English seperating the Muslims and the Hindu and then the two sides would eventually fight each other. In the U.S., the U.S. would find ways to have Native Americans fight each other, and have certain tribes aid in fighting the other tribes.
Divide and Conquer is an old as hell European stratigy that has been going on for years and years. In the end, it's still going on. Can't really do anything about a war stratigy that works.

well actually it was after independence things were divided up take india for example pre independence it was a whole lot bigger the two main countries that were left after were pakistan and india the muslims went to pakistan and hindus india and this wasn't by force. africa is a different story where countries were divided up and annexed by different euopean colonial powers.
with the jews and the muslims we had a aquired the mandate over palestine after world war one, and we're supportive of a jewish state but not one that looks like present day israel, the UN patitian gave the jews plenty of land but they were'nt happy about the amount of arabs in their areas or the size of their boarders so they started efforts to force palestinians off their land. whilst we had control over the territory we maintained a ceasefire between the jews and the muslims but after that it was all systems go for the jews they went all out to secure the biggest chunk of the pie as they could get and america blindly supported the friendly nation in an unfriendly region.
