Japanese people don't know! Principles of world history

Photo of Japanese people don't know! Principles of world history

・The inhabitants of the Hebrew Kingdom originally consisted of 12 tribes, and when the kingdom split north and south, the 10 tribes built the northern Kingdom of Israel, the Judas and the Penyamin tribes built the southern Kingdom of Judah, the northern country of Israel was destroyed by Assyria and the residents were dissolved, and the southern Kingdom of Judah survived, so they are called “Jews” (p19)

・Rome emphasized public welfare even before it became an empire, and as long as taxes were paid to Rome, merchants were free to trade regardless of ethnicity, and merchants were guaranteed their status and property, and King Alexander of the East and his successors, the Greek forces did not have such tolerance, and continued conquest activities only due to military power, so their kingdom did not last long (p33)

・Caracalla, who rose from military commander to emperor, issued an edict in 212 and declared that “Roman citizenship will be granted to all free citizens of the empire,” and both Italy and the provinces completely rose, and as a result, independent forces were formed in surrounding places in the 3rd century, and eventually Germanic emperors who were regarded as barbarians also appeared. After this, it became an era of turmoil called the era of military emperors and the hegemony of the Romans collapsed (p35) When Emperor Constantine abandoned the capital Rome and transferred the capital to Byzantium in Greece in 330, the hegemony of the Romans was lost in both name and reality, and at this time, it was renamed Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) (p37)

・When European agricultural productivity increased in the 6th to 7th century due to global warming, Europe no longer needed to rely on the logistics of food procurement from the Byzantine Empire, the Byzantine Empire lost the motivation to maintain large territories at high costs, and it was the Germanic people who took control of the logistics of food procurement newly, and the Germanic tribes founded small kingdoms all over Europe, were the Franks, who were influential. In 496, King Clovis of the Franks Converted to Catholicism, Emperor Charles the Great finally unified Western Europe (732, Battle of Tour Poitiers) (p40)

・Among Hindus in India, the upper class Brahmins (monks, priests) and Kshatriyas (aristocrats) are 10%, followed by Vaisha (merchants, financiers), the majority is about 60% of the Shudras (ordinary people), and 25% of “Dalids” belong to the lower ranks and are outside the caste (p58)

・In India, until the 19th century, there was a Hindu ceremony called “saty,” where women were burned alive; the dead husband's corpse was burned with flames, and women who rejected it were applied to men in the discriminated class, and although British rule was long and cruel, it is also true that they carried out infrastructure maintenance such as railway construction, etc., and relief for the weak, such as banning satyism (p64). (p64) Religions denying Brahmanism appeared, and Balangmon religion is Buddhism and Ja In conflict with Ina religion (born in the 5th century BC) (p65)

・There is a “theory that Aryans created civilization” as a theory even in Don, which was popular in the 19th century, and the “Aryans” referred to here are the Indo-European language family, but it is a fantasy where blond, blue-eyed Aryans born in Scandinavia created various civilizations from Greece and Rome to India. For the most part, Greeks and Romans have dark hair and dark eyes, and blond blue eyes were called barbarians by the Romans, Germanic people and Slavs It is (p68)

・The first appearance of the country name Japan was in Taiho Ritsuryo in Taiho 1 (701), and it is specified that the title of Japan's monarch used in diplomatic documents is “Emperor Myojin Miu of Japan, Emperor Akitsumi, Shiroshimesu, and Nihon Tenno), and the country name of Japan and the title of the emperor were determined as a set (p72). (p72) All “wa” in the text of the Nihon Shoki completed in 720 was rewritten as “Japan,” and it is indicated that the title of Japan's monarch should be read as “Yamato.” Until then, “Yamato” and “Wa” The kanji for was changed to “wa” and “yamato” from this period, and in the Japanese envoy to the Tang Dynasty resumed in 703, Japan, which had been treated as a vassal country of the Chinese Empire, was “renamed Japan (p73)” to commemorate independence

・Differences between race and ethnicity; race is a category derived from genetic and biological characteristics such as DNA; in contrast, ethnicity is a category derived from social characteristics such as language, culture, customs, etc. (p74) Even from genetic analysis of ancient Japanese rice, it is known that rice cultivation was directly introduced to Japan from the ultra-high watershed without going through the Korean Peninsula (p79)

・Global cooling began in the late Jomon period, and irrigated agriculture began on the continent to increase food production, nations emerged from the need to mobilize people for large-scale civil engineering work, the Mesopotamian civilization, the Indus civilization, the Yellow River civilization, and the Yangtze River civilization (p77) when the Yangtze River Civilization declined due to floods around 2200 BC, it was conquered by forces in the Yellow River basin. Thus, the Han nationalization of the Yangtze River region progressed, and in the 4th century BC, it was conquered by Qin and completely became the territory of the Han people The Han people will be incorporated (p89) The Han people were also constantly exposed to invasions by different ethnic groups, and in many eras, there were only 4 dynasties created by the Han people, which were subordinate to different ethnic groups: Qin, Han, Jin, and Ming (p90)

・Japanese people traditionally read China as “kara,” and “kara” is originally the Gara region (Mina) in the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, but after the time of the Chinese ambassador to the Tang dynasty, they wrote “Tang” and read it as “kara,” and for deep-fried foods in Chinese style, “karaage” umbrellas were called “kara umbrellas” (p98)

・In the 9th century, the Grand Duke of Kiev was used by the Byzantine emperor (Eastern Roman emperor: capital in Greece, Greek Orthodoxy), and messengers also came from the Islamic Empire (Abbasid dynasty) around the same time, and eventually chose Christianity, but the Grand Duke drank a lot and couldn't withstand the precepts of Islamic prohibition (p102)

・When Russia was under Mongol rule, they became Mongolian vanguards and suppressed the Russian rebellion, and Russian aristocrats that Han remembers were against Moscow, Ivan III unified the Russian forces, and Ukrainians were taken in. Since the Duke of Moscow also called himself Grand Duke, the Principality of Moscow is generally called the Grand Duchy of Moscow, and from the perspective of Ukrainians, it means that the Grand Duchy of Moscow, which was nothing but regional competition, has no legitimacy compared to the main branch of the Kiev Principality (p105)

・Poland was erased from the map in the 18th century, and Belarus and Ukraine became Russian territory at this time. Ukraine has two geopolitical values: 1) high-rise zones, 2) exit to the Black Sea, the Crimean Khanate continued to exist on the Crimean peninsula, Empress Catherine II annexed it in the 18th century, made a large number of Russians live, built a military port, Sevastopol, and developed Donetsk Tanda. Putin will annex eastern Ukraine (Lugansk-Donetsk region, etc.) and the Crimean peninsula, where Russians have a majority (p108)

・Secretary of State Blinken and Vice Secretary of State Nuland of the Biden Democratic Party administration are descendants of Ukrainian Jews who escaped to America due to bogrom (p111)

・During World War II, Germany invaded, Ukraine became the stage for the German-Soviet War, and the country was burnt to ashes. The number of deaths of Ukrainians, including soldiers and civilians, is said to be an ethnic group that caused 8 to 14 million deaths, 1 in 5 Ukrainians died, and even when compared to 3 million people in Japan and 5 million people in Germany, you can see the extent of damage in Ukraine (p114)

・Since the migration of the Germanic peoples in the 4th century, the power of the three forces, Latin (Romans) Germanic and Slavic peoples, has been prioritized, and the political dynamics of achieving balance while controlling each other has been prioritized, and in Western Europe, Germany has been divided into regions of France, Italy, and Germanic peoples as the domain of Latin people. After the death of Emperor Charles, through the Treaty of Verdun in 843 and the Treaty of Mersen in 870, the border was determined, divided into 3 countries: the West Frankish Kingdom (France), the East Frankish Kingdom (Germany), and the Kingdom of Italy, and the foundation for each country was created; Germanic people did not even control languages, and Latin culture remained, and French was formed from there, and the majority of the population was dominated by Latins (p117)

・Since “ingress,” which indicates England in Portuguese, was heard as “England” by Japanese people, England was called England in Japan, England was formed by the Angles (Germany's Angern Peninsula) and Saxons (Germany's Lower Saxony), England is a country of Angles, and English represents the words and people of the Angles (p123, 124) Little Britain in France Distinguished England by reading it from Great Britain (p154)

・In order to revive the Western Roman Empire, which had already fallen, Charles took the throne of the Western Roman Empire in 800, and Carl restored the Western Roman Empire, which had been vacant for 324 years until 476-800, the Western Roman Empire (395) → Charles Empire (800) → Holy Roman Empire (962), which was taken over from Carl to King Otto I and established the Holy Roman Empire in 962 as king of Germany in 962, transitioning to the third Western Roman Empire, After the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire in 1453, it became the Grand Duchy of Moscow in 1480 → the Russian Romanov dynasty in 1613 (p127)

・In Germany, the Holy Roman Empire, which was established in 962, was the first empire, the German Empire of the Hohenzollern family (opposing the Habsburgs), which was inaugurated in 1871, became the second empire, and Hitler's Nazi Germany became the third empire (p129) Europeans think that their own history begins with the Roman Empire, and successive emperors of the Holy Roman Empire are the successive emperors of the Holy Roman Empire. The heir to the Eastern Roman Empire is the Russian Romanov family (p130)

・Christians who worship Jesus, who was martyred on the cross, have created a theory (trinity theory) that Yahweh God dwells in the Virgin Mary as the Holy Spirit and was born as Jesus, and this is a painstaking measure to maintain consistency with Yahweh monotheism (p141) Japanese Buddhist leaders did not reject Shinto, but reinterpreted Japanese gods according to Buddhist doctrine. The Japanese gods changed the shape of the Buddha, or were there on the way to the Buddha, or protected the Buddha I interpreted it as an entity that does. This is a syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism; the sun god Amaterasu, the ancestral god of the imperial family, is an incarnation of Dainichi Nyorai, and Oyama Kakui, the god of Mount Hiei was enshrined at Enryaku-ji Temple as Sanno Gongen (p145)

・The conquest of the new continent America by Spain and Portugal progressed, and a large amount of inflation (price membership) occurred, and a large amount of money was invested in navigation to revitalize trade, while the value of silver in Western Europe crashed and the aristocracy that collected land rent with silver coins fell, and the king adopted a mercantilist policy to protect large merchants, make profits, and collect taxes from there. Against the backdrop of financial power obtained in this way, they overwhelmed local aristocrats This is absolutism; the French Bourbon family and the Austrian Habsburg family were extremely prosperous, and the aristocrats that fell became courtiers who were paid salaries as ministers of the king (p185)

・It was the French revolutionary government that started the modern military conscription system (obligation to serve in the military), and this was contrary to the granting of suffrage; since women were exempted from military service, they were not given suffrage; soldiers fighting for national honor overwhelmed mercenaries from various countries fighting for money; the government provided pensions to bereaved families of war dead and war wounded to guarantee their lives; the war dead were buried in national cemeteries and the nation honors their honor (p192)

・The Meiji Restoration achieved a French Revolutionary level national transformation of abolishing the status system, abolishing feudal domains and establishing prefectures, implementing a military draft system, and enacting a constitution, but it was suppressed by about 30,000 victims, including the Boshin War and the Seinan War. This is a big difference from the French Revolution, which killed hundreds of thousands, and it is also a miracle in world history, and since both the Edo Shogunate and Meiji governments had the same “emperor,” there was no revolution in Japan in terms of the emperor continuing to rule (p193)

・Taiwan became Japanese territory according to the Shimonoseki Treaty, and Taiwanese people highly appreciated the Shimonoseki Treaty as liberation from Qing tyranny rather than an invasion by Japan, and position it as an important step in the beginning of their country's history. The Nissin Peace Peace Memorial Hall was built in 1937 at Shunpanro in Shimonoseki City to commemorate the Shimonoseki Treaty (p204)

・During the Song and Yuan dynasties, Chinese merchants actively advanced overseas, improved shipbuilding technology, and navigation techniques such as compass and astronomical observation made Zheng He's “South China Sea Expedition” possible, and many soldiers boarded Zheng He's fleet and sometimes fought against local forces (p213)

・King George III of England dispatched special envoy McCartney to Emperor Han Long and appealed for correction of trade imbalances. In response to this, they answered, “There are no products from Tiancho that are not rich, and there is no need to make up for shortages with foreign products, and since tea, porcelain, and raw silk produced by Tiancho are necessities for the UK, they allow them to give benefits and moisturize (spill over),” trade negotiations broke down, and what England began was the smuggling of Indian opium into China, and this was discovered in the Qing dynasty and the British Navy “protects freedom of trade” on the pretext that opium was confiscated Attacked Qing (Opium War) (p221)

・The first to use artillery in actual combat was when the British army invaded France in the Hundred Years' War, which scattered the French cavalry with a loud sound in the first battle, the Battle of Crécy (1346), and was used as a siege weapon in the Battle of Calais in the same year. As a result, Western countries realized how powerless cavalry attacks were in front of artillery, and the four battles of the advent of guns, practical application of guns, and miniaturization of cannons progressed (p224) Constantinople (1543), Chaldiran (1514), Barney Butt (1526), and the Battle of Nagashino (1575) proved the overwhelming strength of artillery, and symbolizes the end of the cavalry era (p227) (p227)

・In the Osaka Winter Siege, Ieyasu besieged Osaka Castle with a large army of 200,000, placed his headquarters outside of the range of the Toyotomi canon, and the most advanced cannons purchased from the Netherlands and England arrived there. In particular, the British Calverine had a firing range of 6 kilometers, started shooting from a distance out of reach of the Toyotomi army, and eventually penetrated the castle tower, and the second daughters serving Yodo-kun were killed. Carballines were also used when defeating Spain's invincible fleet Armada (p21) Saka no Jin, Shimabara Since the Netherlands helped the Tokugawa family twice during the rebellion (the Netherlands dispatched 1 warship from Batavia and naval artillery fire at sea), the Tokugawa family gave the Netherlands monopoly on trade with Japan in Nagasaki (p232)

・After the Glorious Revolution, the English Parliament obtained the support of the Netherlands, banished King James II, and welcomed the Dutch Governor General and his wife as King of England, and since the wife of the Dutch Governor General was the daughter of James II, there was no pedigree problem, and since it was carried out without fighting (James II fled to France), it became an honorable revolution, and the etymology of revolution (p244) revolution which is the most stable form of government that continues for over 300 years until today (p244) means that the etymology of revolution rotates and returns to tradition The revolution is exactly what should be called a “conservative revolution” (p244)

・According to Mr. Immanuel, hegemonic nations have the three conditions of 1) overwhelming productivity, 2) overwhelming distribution power, and 3) overwhelming financial power, and there are only three such nations (p248), and furthermore, overwhelming fraudulent power and overwhelming power of extortion may also be necessary (p255)

・The main cause that boosted England into a hegemonic nation is not the expansion of productivity due to the industrial revolution; the cause is a unique profit structure that other countries cannot imitate; it progressed from the stage of industrial capital where profits are obtained by exporting industrial products to a baby blob of financial capital that earns returns through capital exports (overseas investment) (is p255)

・The black slave trade was started by medieval Muslim merchants; Portugal imitated it, and England expanded the scale; England fought wars with competitors such as Spain and France, and by winning, they monopolized the slave trade and made huge profits. Investors who invested in the slave trade business received a return of about 30%, and it was an extremely promising high-profit business for England (p253)

・The slave trade continued until the 19th century, and during this time, England proceeded with colonization in India and seized raw cotton produced in India, sugar production increased in Portuguese Brazil, and while prices fell, the slave trade became unprofitable and disappeared naturally. The reason why the slave trade disappeared was due more to economic reasons than to humane reasons (p255)

・British hegemony was formed by human traffickers in the slave trade and drug dealers in the opium trade, and it was not sustainable without their criminal and antisocial methods. History has proven that such things are the reality of the international community: evil and outrageous, weak and strong, and unashamed (p259)

・England won the Opium War, took the tariff autonomy of the Qing dynasty and tried to make a profit by exporting its own cotton products to the huge Chinese market, but expensive English cotton products didn't sell in China and fell out of place; the reality was that shirts painted by the Chinese were cheaper, and this also applied in India; labor costs were higher in Japan than China, and mechanization progressed rapidly after the Meiji Restoration (p277)

・There was no need for black slavery to be introduced into the Southeast Asian colonies because China's overpopulation (coolies) flowed overseas, British Malay, Singapore, Dutch India (Indonesia), the United States, the Philippines, and the Kingdom of Hawaii (p277)

・What was unfortunate for Japan was that Franklin Roosevelt of the Democratic Party became the American president for 4 consecutive terms during the Great Depression, and while his distant relative Theodore Roosevelt met a pro-Japanese family, Franklin was completely useless. It was racist (p331)

・1) Invasion by the Mongol Empire was experienced by Japan, Korea, China, Russia, and the Islamic world; 2) during the Age of Discovery, Western European fleets armed with cannons attacked the coasts of Africa and Asia, and the arrival of Portuguese people to Tanegashima was part of that; 3) in the 19th century, the division of the world by Western European powers strengthened by the industrial revolution was part of that, and Perry's arrival was part of that, how were our ancestors in the crisis era If you know whether you have responded and defended your independence with desperation in comparison with other countries, the way you live your life from your feet will also change (p367)
