The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 223 The So-Called Nation

With the chaos in South America, the delicate balance between the American Empire and the Republic of Guatemala, which had entered a stalemate of consumption, was suddenly disturbed.

Especially when the first country independently established by the revolutionary army appeared in the northern part of South America on the verge of Central America-the Republic of Colombia, the president of the Republic of Guatemala finally couldn't sit still!

Originally, the Republic of Guatemala had the British at its back, so they could completely ignore the defense line in the south and focus all their energy on the war of attrition in the north.

Anyway, the lives of ordinary people in Central America are worthless, and there are many poor men who are willing to join the army to eat food. As long as the main force of the Republic of Guatemala does not move, Yuri will not dare to take action no matter how strong he is.

Central America is a densely populated area, and the President of the Republic of Guatemala is not afraid of the American Empire. After all, the Republic of Guatemala has the support of the British in this war.

In addition to weapons and equipment, the British also granted a lot of loans to the Republic of Guatemala, and the collateral was the tariffs of the Republic of Guatemala!

Central America is on the verge of the Spice Islands, and trade exchanges are very developed. Even if the Spanish colonial rule is facing collapse and revolutions occur everywhere, basic commerce and trade are still maintained here.

It is mainly maintained by the British Empire Navy!
When the colonial rule of the Spanish Kingdom collapsed in the Americas, apart from the American Empire, the other major beneficiary was the British. Almost all the Spanish islands in the Caribbean Sea and around the Spice Islands were taken over by the British.

The British method is very simple. After the natives of those islands have expelled the few Spaniards, the British marines will land and plant their flags.

Even many indigenous revolutionary parties were themselves supported by the British, and most of the island British took over control from their younger brothers without firing a shot.

Of course, the younger brother who was supported also gained a lot of benefits and became the representative of the local rule of the British colonists.

The British in this world are best at using threats of force and inciting uprisings in other countries to support younger brothers and vassal states.

The nationalism that is booming in the world now is actually a sequela of the British playing too much with instigating uprisings...

The Continental side is even more interesting. Every power will import nationalist independent ideas to other threatening powers, and in the case of mutual infiltration and export of ideas, the original stupid people's wisdom of the Continental has been opened up in this way...

After all, if the great powers of this era really had an unknown outcome, it would be easy to take advantage of others. Naturally, it would be most convenient to invade as an intervening army when there were uprisings and revolutions in the enemy country.

In this way, it not only occupies the righteousness, but also can bully a weak and powerful country from both inside and outside.

Therefore, the low-cost work of exporting revolutionary ideas has become something that the monarchs of various countries like very much, which is why there are so many ethnic groups in Europe.

To put it bluntly, these ethnic groups are artificially divided based on factors such as regional folk customs. The main reason for their formation is that European countries secretly stabbed each other and exported ethnic and revolutionary ideas.

For example, the Irish Revolution, which broke out every three to five times in the British mainland, was jointly promoted by the European powers.

There used to be the Scottish Revolutionary Party and the Welsh Revolutionary Party, but the British Empire in this world is too powerful, and the Scottish Revolutionary Party and the Welsh Revolutionary Party have now declined to the point where there is only one name left...

Only in the Irish area that was later conquered and far away from the political center of London, there is still soil for the survival of the Revolutionary Party.

Even so, after the rise of the British Empire, the Irish Revolutionary Party has never created a record of capturing a city. At most, it will make trouble in villages and towns, and then be bloody suppressed by the British...

Relatively speaking, the revolutionary ideas exported by the British to the European continental powers are terrifying. This is mainly because the British are too powerful. The continental European countries wiped out the revolutionary parties.

The British Empire, which brutally suppressed nationalists at home, is indeed the umbrella of justice for national independents on the European continent. What the London government likes to do most is to brandish a big stick and beat everywhere to maintain national freedom...

The most successful case of the British Empire is that in the Holy Roman Empire, it fostered a Kingdom of Prussia that could compete with the Habsburg Dynasty, making it impossible for the Habsburg Dynasty to unify the Holy Roman Empire.

The Holy Roman Empire in this world has shown an obvious bipolar model. In the competition between Prussia and Austria, there are still a large group of states that survive in the cracks.

And the territories under the Habsburg dynasty also formed stubborn local nationalities under the secret promotion of the British.

For example, the Hungarian nation has been seeking political independence.

In fact, the Hungarian nation was completely artificially propagated. In the original Hungarian land, only the Magyar nobles thought they were Hungarians. The common people and serfs at the bottom did not mind what nationality they were, or they had no concept of nationality.

However, under the spare no effort to propagate and bribe the British Empire, the envoy of the righteous nation, the Hungarian national ideology in Hungary has spread to all social classes. Basically, as long as the native language is Hungarian, all families consider themselves Hungarians.

This is how nations are formed!

In the Middle Ages, how could there be any nation? The common people only recognized the lord above them, and often they didn’t even recognize the king!
The decline of the Habsburg dynasty today is inseparable from the continuous troubles of the Hungarian nation.

Under the leadership of the Hungarian nation, other nations gradually appeared in Austria, such as the Czech nation, the Slovak nation, etc. As long as the language and customs are different, a nation can be separated!
Even the citizens of the Habsburg dynasty, who all speak German, will separate small nations according to different regions...

The reason why the European powers united and failed to suppress the British Empire is mainly because the national ideology of large and small in the country is holding back.

In the eyes of those nationalists, the British Empire has a glorious and upright image, so naturally they will not just watch their country go against the British.

Demonstrations and even armed riots after the front-line battles are nothing but trivial. If it weren't for the poor combat effectiveness of the armed citizens gathered temporarily, the monarchs of continental European countries would have been overthrown long ago!
In fact, Yuri is now also committed to building a nation of his own-the American nation.
