Despite the fact that Europe is the first.
The birthplace of the first and second industrial revolutions, its revolutionary scientific and technological progress has also made unprecedented progress in Europe. However, after the two wars, Europe has once again become devastated, and it has watched as the hegemony that dominates the world falls into the hands of the United States, which has just been established for 200 years, and it cannot be stopped at all.
But Europe soon emerged from the war, offering its own people favourable conditions that were the envy of the whole world.
So, how did Europe get to the top of the world in such a short period of time, then enter a new era, and then start to decline?
In fact, all this is because Europe, using its own colonial capital and high-tech leadership, plundered a huge amount of resources from all over the world. But the deeper reason is that the Soviet Union has brought great benefits to Europe over the past few decades.
What exactly is the state?
First, strategic dividends. After World War II, the two superpowers quickly confronted each other, and Europe was pushed to the forefront of the communist alliance with the Soviet Union. This was the American, which came to be known as the Marshall Project. Thanks to massive American investments, Europe's industrialization did not decline, but became stronger. This is also the reason why the Western world is ahead in technology.
The second reason is energy. Many countries in Europe need a large number of ** to produce chemical raw materials such as gasoline, plastics, and artificial rubber. It was because of the discovery of the "Tyumen oil field" that the Soviet Union became the world's largest oil producer overnight, overnight, but the Soviet Union could not give all the excess ** to Europe at a low price. Since then, the European industry has become even stronger.
Third, safety rewards. Although the economic and trade relations between the Soviet Union and Europe were very close, because of historical reasons, European countries were still very wary of the Soviet Union, and they were worried that if the Soviet Union was unhappy, it would set off a "steel torrent" to sweep across Europe. Therefore, they bet all their "treasures" on the head of the United States, and the United States, this country, can compete with the Soviet Union. One after another American ** bases have been established in Europe. The United States has taken on the responsibility of "defending Europe", and Europe has spent the rest of its military spending on developing its own country and providing more livelihood for its people.
Fourth, market dividends. What they want to do is to turn Europe into a huge market, with a single currency, for **. Led by the "three carriages" of Europe, the European Union was formed. This economic community, which is a large European country such as Germany and France, has accumulated a lot of money and a lot of international money.
Fifth, cost dividends. Europe used to be a time when inflation was low, and there were many "factories of the world", all relying on huge populations and cheap labor resources. At that time, not only in the development of China, but also in Europe, the money in Europe was also massively reducing the labor force.
Because of this, Europe has been the most economically developed country in the world for decades.
Now, however, Europe has been led by the nose by the United States, and has stripped its "coat". Manipulation by the United States, the degree of industrial hollowing out has further deepened; In order for Russia's cheap energy not to be exploited by the United States; As a result of the instigation of the United States, various ** obstacles have been erected; The United States will take the lead in engaging in big moves such as "decoupling".
Therefore, even if the Europeans have money, if they cannot control the right to speak in diplomatic, military, cultural and other aspects, they are lambs to the slaughter. This also confirms the old saying: "There is meat in the house, the soup is in the pot, and there are birds flying in the sky." ”
