History of the American National Movement

On the second night, I watched Luke Wen's history of the national movement of the United States. I briefly said that the entire modern history of the world is a history of great powers competing for hegemony. Britain was the first to become the leader through the industrial revolution. After France rose up, the Seven Years War between Britain and France began. France was defeated, and it happened that the United States was about to get rid of The suzerain was the United Kingdom, so France helped the United States fight the War of Independence in order to avenge the United Kingdom. After exhausting its national strength, it was abandoned by the United States. Therefore, due to the economic crisis, a great revolution broke out in France, and a Napoleon came out. Through high-paying British high-tech talents and business espionage, the United States mastered the latest textile technology and slowly developed its national strength. When it tried to move from an agricultural country to an industrial country, the civil war broke out between the north and the south. Britain and France united the southern manor to focus on northern industrial capitalism, but The American fortunes were excellent, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom held back Britain and France, the British grain shortage and the bountiful cotton harvest in the colonies all made Britain and France less demanding in the south than the north. Through protracted wars, the north was victorious, and by the way, slaves were liberated and they became workers in capitalist factories (another type of slaves), and then the United States made a fortune, then the Mexican-American War and the Spanish-American War turned Mexico and Cuba into its own raw material supply and commodity dumping ground. Just when Britain and the United States began to compete for hegemony, Russia rose, Britain and France beat Russia, The rise of Germany, World War I and World War II, when Europe became a mess, the United States made a lot of war money, and finally succeeded to the world leader in peace, and then covered up all its dirty American past, dressed itself as the Virgin White Lotus, and imported capital and talents, exporting culture and values, and then for a hundred years, the world has been bitter and beautiful for a long time. When Japan, a non-independent sovereign country, rose in the 1980s, the United States brought him down, and by the way, it cheapened another non-independent sovereign country, South Korea, to transform Japan. Han has become a semi-colonial where the chaebol capitalists and the United States conspire to squeeze the people. Now that we are up, the United States wants to press us, and various comprador capitalists and public officials are their middlemen.

In this way, Washington, the failed British officer, and Hamilton, the pariah intellectual, are great because they serve the American people wholeheartedly, instead of becoming comprador capitalists and public figures!

    George Eacker: [shushing him] I'm trying to watch the show.

    Philip Hamilton: It's like that?

    George Eacker: Yeah, I don't fool around. I'm not your little schoolboy friends.
