--- 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.

Shallow:
Divide and conquer only works if the two parties being positioned against each other are stupid enough to fall for, like red neck hicks in the south during post slavery, or they already hate each other. Muslim's split with out European involvement, and Christianity split, so even Europeans are victim to it, od course I'm not sure if those count as divide and conquer, unless you believe in all those Jewish conspiracy theories.

don't even get me started on the Spanish. Being Mexica (Aztec) myself, I have some opinions on them. Anyways, it's one of the key military stratigies for war. I was once told, Native Americans, Asians, Africans, they had some great warriors, but the Europeans mastered war. And it's true, man, so many European nations, I guess for lack of a better term, just outsmarted their enemies. But it does not make it wrong, it's a fact of war, and now that we are in a time where we can look back and learn from history, people need to learn to unify and join together to fight a world power, not fight each other.
