Chapter 11 The Modern History of the Wizarding World

William finished flipping through two thick dictionaries and began to digest the advanced physics, advanced mathematics, biology and other books presented by Catherine and Diana.

In the ancient Tang Dynasty, Qi refiners were the most brilliant scientists, but in modern times, the technology of ordinary people has made human beings understand the world to an incredible level.

It's a pity that those old antiques who closed the mountain gate in the Tang Dynasty are still walking the quiet and inactive way of saints. They don't know that as long as their IQ is online, they can obtain the hidden secrets of the avenue from the knowledge of the ordinary human world.

Electromagnetism corresponds to the method of thunder, and the laws of electrons, protons, and neutrons can help qi refiners understand the principle of yin and yang transformation. Biology and cytology can be used for reference to help qi refiners grasp the opportunity of life creation from big to young.

This kind of road that was the most difficult to walk in ancient Tang Dynasty is now the most convenient road.

It's a pity that the wizarding world is too closed. Even in the wizarding world of the Tang Dynasty, those famous masters who have the most hope of attaining the Tao cannot understand the knowledge of the secular world.

Even William relied on the assistance of the Silver Dragon Intellectual Brain to quickly absorb these laws of physics, astronomy, biology, etc.

After reading two books, William hid in the bed in the bedroom on the second floor and started reading the History of Magic in the European Wizarding World.

The European wizarding world originated from ancient Greece. After the Persians invaded ancient Greece, wizards were forced to flee the city-states and brought magical knowledge to the European continent.

However, what William is interested in is not the history of the "Age of Gods", "Golden Age" and "Silver Age" in the wizarding world, but the modern history known as the "Dark Iron Age".

This period of history is very interesting. It started with the coronation of Napoleon in France in 1804.

Historians in the wizarding world believe that it was at that time that various wars broke out on the European continent, from democratic revolutions, national wars, to world wars, causing more and more people to awaken their magical powers in large-scale wars. And brought about subversive changes in the wizarding world.

Before that, the number of pure-blood wizards, mixed-blood wizards, and civilian wizards was a stable pyramid structure, but frequent wars caused a sharp increase in the number of civilian wizards who were originally at the bottom. After World War I, the number of civilian wizards in Britain increased from tens of thousands to more than 200,000.

The consequence of this surge is that the resources of the wizarding world are tight. In order to alleviate this conflict of needs, the European wizarding community has begun to actively expand externally.

At the beginning, it was the Black Continent and America, and finally it focused on the far east.

Unfortunately, while their secular armies were victorious in battles, they suffered disastrous defeats.

"On August 1842, 8, the Far East wizarding sea battle, the East India Company suffered a disastrous defeat, and gave up spreading the way of wizarding in the East."

There are very few records in the book, but William still imagined from the later records what happened to the group of dark wizards who invaded the East.

"On January 1843, 1, during the Diagon Alley Parade, the families of the wizards killed in the East India Company's war demanded that Gringotts increase their one-time compensation and pension."

William stopped flipping through the book, looked at the date on it, and whispered: "East India, Gringotts, goblins."

After careful consideration, William continued to read.

"In 1903, for the first time in the wizarding world, more than civilian wizards marched, demanding lower prices, higher wages, and the elimination of hidden rules of inequality in the Ministry of Magic's employment."

William stopped again after seeing this line.

In the Daily Prophet he collected, he saw many times that senior officials of the Ministry of Magic highly praised a certain pure-blood family and the goblins donated galleons.

For this, William has only one word.

Should!

Who in the secular world does not know the importance of finance, and the financial industry can even affect the rise and fall of a country.

The United States is tightly controlled by the werewolves on Wall Street. Several financial crises have failed to shake Wall Street's control of various industries. On the contrary, they have made a lot of money.

The descendants of the U.S. government are so poor that they are about to shut down every year, so they can only keep borrowing money to survive, but the group of people on Wall Street are very rich.

The wizarding world gave the goblins the casting and distribution rights of Gold Galleon, Silver Sickle, and Copper Turner without any restrictions, and also handed over the only bank to them for operation.

This makes the goblins more powerful than those on Wall Street, at least the latter only control the finance, not the power to issue paper money and control interest rates, and these goblins have all of them.

Goblins have actually become the economic kings of the wizarding world, and they can completely rob wizards of their assets with a bunch of currency. Just like Americans, they use trillions of banknotes to exchange for goods all over the world.

It is nothing more than the value of gold Galleons, which has the property of preserving value because of its precious metal value, and only let the goblins cast Galleons to generate huge amounts of interest.

Forging ten Galleons, as long as there is a profit of one Galleung, in a few hundred years, these goblins will be as rich as the rest of the world.

No wonder Voldemort robbed a few goblins during his rise, which was enough for the Death Eaters' military expenses!

It is strange that the wealth of the wizarding world is not plundered.

The poverty of the Ministry of Magic was already doomed when the agreement with the goblin was signed.

The establishment of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets helped the British wizarding community solve the problem of resource constraints.

Civilian wizards began to demand more rights, such as canceling the aristocratic privileges of pure-blood wizards, increasing the salary levels of civilian wizards, expanding the voting rights of civilian wizards, and reducing the control of pure-blood wizards over the Ministry of Magic.

These contradictions have always existed, and after World War I, they were torn apart by the first generation of Dark King Gellert Grindelwald using the "Law of Secrecy" as a breakthrough.

After the industrial revolution, the formerly hidden territory of the wizarding world was constantly invaded by the secular world. The wizards were trapped by the Secrecy Law and had to give in step by step, accumulating a lot of conflicts.

"Since 1900, conflicts between wizards and Muggles have increased rapidly. A large number of villages and lands where wizards lived were taken over by rich Muggles. Disputes between poor wizards and rich Muggles frequently occurred, and reached their peak in 1904."

William glanced at a picture of a prisoner's trial on the right side of the book, under which a line of small words was specially marked, "Percival Dumbledore illegally used magic to attack Muggle children and was arrested and imprisoned."

"Is this Dumbledore's elder?"

William recalled it carefully, but couldn't remember who he was.

"The Dumbledore family, who are famous for their love, still has this kind of thing? The situation back then was really bad."

William continued to flip through it quickly and soon saw the history of World War I.

"On 1914th July 7, Evermond, the Minister for Magic, passed an Emergency Act banning wizards from taking part in wars, lest they risk breaching the International Statute of Secrecy. Thousands of people still defied, helping Muggles as they could." Evermond Mond's move was also strongly criticized by Wizengamot MP Henry Porter."

"Henry Potter?" William chuckled. Seeing this familiar name in the book, he felt inexplicably amused.

The Potter family is one of the 28 holy families. Together with the Gaunt, Dumbledore, Black, Lestrange and other families, they influence the British wizarding world.
