| CrazyGamer2017 said: Ok dude no offense but if you are going to ignore basic historical facts, discussions become pretty much impossible ok? FYI Hitler was ELECTED and thus came to power. If you want to form an opinion or disagree that's fine but the basic thing is to know what you are talking about cause things are hard enough when people disagree on stuff they know about without adding an extra layer of disagreeing on issues they don't understand. So open up a history book, enjoy the read and then feel free to join the debate. Just saying. As for the Roman empire example, it was just that, an empire that conquered through FORCE and INVASION. If you are going to compare the peaceful union of European countries in the present to the brutally conquered land by the Roman empire then you really are clueless as to what we have been talking about in this thread and as to what the EU is about. As for the US civil war, it was not a conquest, it was a bunch of southern pro-slavery states that tried to leave the US. And while the military option of that time would probably not be viewed today as a 21st century choice, it still did manage to bring peace. Or was the US through civil wars after that? If you check history books, you'll see that it never was again. |
It sounds like you should take your own recommendation since other's showed your error in the subsequent posts ...
A union does not guarantee peace and the league of nations was one such passive union that failed to prevent WWII but there are countless other examples such as the Soviet Union or the Federal Republic of Central America which devloved into internal conflict ...
There's nothing stopping EU from devolving into internal conflict when it has to deal with the volatity of soveriegn nations who could declare war on any EU member states at any second ...
