**The Bloody Lessons of
Tribal Europe**

2018-02-12 10:49:56 UTC  

*"Hang your chemistry and electricity. If you want to make a pile of money, invent
something that will enable these Europeans to cut each others throats with greater
facility." - Advice from an unidentified American businessman in Vienna, Austria to
fellow American Hiram Maxim that inspired his invention of the Maxim Gun, the first
fully automatic, modern machine gun.*

When will Civil War II actually erupt? There is no scientific formula or mathematical equation that will give us the date. Instead, we must turn our attention to the demographic forces propelling us toward Civil War II, our ongoing transformation from a stable monoethnic nation into an unstable multiethnic empire. Not all history can be explained by this single engine of demographic transformation. Other factors can and do decide the boundaries and fates of empires and nations. However, the concept of nationality has been the dominate historical factor, at least since the industrial revolution. The more monoethnic a nation is, the less chance a secondary tribe will break off and form a new nation, or unite with their co-ethnics in an adjacent nation. The more monoethnic a nation is, the less likely a neighboring country will try to carve off a slice inhabited by its coethnics as Nazi Germany seized the Sudentenland of Czechoslovakia. The more monoethnic a nation is, the more likely its citizens will unite and fight foreign invaders, thus again increasing the chances of territorial integrity.

To be sure, ethnic tensions and even genocide can and do occur in relatively monoethnic nations, such as the genocide of the Jews and others in Germany. However, it is the internal stability and territorial integrity of nations that is the focus of our concern. The more usual case is that a secondary tribe dominant in one region breaks off and forms a new nation. Nationalism (tribalism, if you please) is the relentless historical force that has shaped the current map of Europe. The tread of imperial armies has also changed the map of Europe, but empires are like great ships - when sunk they remain sunk. Tribal based nations, on the other hand, are historically buoyant - pushed under they resurface time and time again.

This view of history requires no elaborate intellectual defense. Consider world maps. They depict the world as their makers perceive it. All the globe (excepting the uninhabited oceans and the uninhabited polar icecaps) is literally divided up and colored as this nation or that. Nationality is plainly what we consider of greatest significance when we perceive our world, not the watersheds of great rivers, vast climatic zones, or ranges of towering mountains. It is not so much the Earth we are mapping, but rather the very synapses of our own minds.

Europe is that ever-troubled region from whence we got our notions of culture, politics, and religion, and is therefore of particular interest to us. Its pattern on the map may as well be lit up in neon lights. The nations of Europe are clearly tribal. Smaller tribes coalesced into super tribes, and nations came into being. The dominant tribe in every nation speaks a common language, usually unique to them, and its members mutually recognize each other as co-nationals. (This chapter was written in the summer of 1995, and reflects the state of Europe at that time.)

**Table 3a: Ethnic composition of European nations.**

2018-02-12 10:52:01 UTC  

Consider Table 3a. There are several wars boiling or simmering in Europe. Other European nations are occupied by foreign or UN troops. Some are vassal states of a mightier neighbor. Let's make an objective examination of these troubled countries to see if we can find any common, underlying reason for their misfortunes.

2018-02-12 10:52:10 UTC  

For the purposes of this analysis of European conflicts, a civil war shall be defined as an active conflict or armed standoff between two armed groups of full-time combatants organized in permanent military formations, each of which controls territory.

2018-02-12 10:52:18 UTC  

A guerrilla war shall be defined as the same as a civil war excepting that the guerrilla formations do not permanently control inhabited territory, but exist in bands continuously on the run or in hiding.

2018-02-12 10:52:31 UTC  

A terrorist war shall be defined as ongoing violence such as riots, bombings, and assassinations, whose perpetrators are not organized in permanent military formations, and who do not control any territory.

2018-02-12 10:52:39 UTC  

Now let's examine the nations that have some sort of conflict listed in the extreme right column of Table 3a.

2018-02-12 10:52:52 UTC  

**Armenia:** (Clements International Report, Political Research, Inc., April, 1995, p. 14.) Armenia has been at war since 1989, assisting secessionist Armenian ethnics in the Nagorno-Karabakh region of the neighboring country of Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani Army was defeated. The secessionist Armenians of the Nagorno-Karabakh have achieved their goal of reunion with Armenia proper, and a tense cease-fire is now in effect - a cease-fire which will last not a second beyond when the Azerbaijanies re-equip their battered army.

2018-02-12 10:53:25 UTC  

Russian ethnics compose 2% of Armenia's population, and they have not been forgotten by Mother Russia. Russian troops are still stationed in Armenia despite Armenia becoming independent in 1990, and Armenia is a now vassal state of Russia. When Russia says frog, Armenia jumps. Armenia's involvement in an external war was caused by ethnic Armenians living outside its borders, and the presence of foreign troops on her soil was caused in part by foreign ethnics residing within Armenia's borders. The underlying cause of Armenia's difficulties is clearly ethnic in nature.

2018-02-12 10:53:52 UTC  

**Bosnia:** (The New York Times. "An Outlaw in ttie'Balkans is Basking in the Spotlight, Nov. 23, 1993, p. 1.) Bosnia is currently fighting a civil war within its borders against secessionist ethnic Serbs and the usual Serb mass butchery and rape. The civil war in Bosnia is clearly ethnic in nature.

2018-02-12 10:54:35 UTC  

**Croatia:** Croatia is currently fighting a civil war within its borders against ethnic Serbs who
slaughtered and raped Croatians, and then set up their own nation on Croatian soil. The
civil war in Croatia is clearly ethnic in nature.

2018-02-12 10:54:50 UTC  

**France: **France has two terrorist, low-intensity conflicts going on within its borders - one with the Basques and the other on the island of Corsica, legally a part of France. Both conflicts involve unassimilated tribal groups, thus both are ethnic in nature. Both involve groups that are concentrated in one area. Corsica, it should be noted, is an island separate from continental France, much like the relation of the US to Puerto Rico, where we also see ongoing separatist tendencies.

2018-02-12 10:55:10 UTC  

**Georgia:** (The Economist, "How to Make Enemies and Influence People", August 19,1995, p. 46) (The New York Times, February 5,1995, p. 3) (The New York Times, "Parliament in Georgia Approves Constitution", p.11.) Georgia had an ethnically-based civil war in 1992 that still sputters on today. As this chapter was being prepared, persons unknown attempted to kill the leader of Georgia, Eduard A. Shevardnadze, with a car bomb on August 29,1995. Suspects include followers of the first president of Georgia, a Mr. Gamsakhurdia, who "committed suicide" after he was ousted in a Shevardnadze backed coup. Another suspect is a Mr. loseliani, a former bank robber and former ally of Shevardnadze who currently heads up a 5,000 man private army known as the Mkhedrioni - Georgian for Knights. A New York Times article of Aug. 30, 1995 stated that Georgia "remains a largely lawless, corrupt country dominated by armed gangs." The Times quoted human rights groups as saying Georgian security forces regularly use "torture and intimidation."

2018-02-12 10:55:32 UTC  

How did Georgia come to this sorry state of coups, car bombs, corruption, lawlessness, assassinations, torture, and bank robbers running private armies? When the Soviet Union broke up, Georgia became independent. Almost immediately, two internal minorities, the Abkhazians and the Ossetians, declared independence for their slices of Georgia, and civil war erupted. The Russians intervened in order to look after the interests of 370,000 ethnic Russians in Georgia (7% of Georgia's population), and to generally reduce Georgia to a vassal state. Today, although the civil war sputters on, the rebellious minorities have basically achieved autonomy for their regions, and Russian troops occupy much of Georgia. Georgia is an occupied vassal state of Russia. Georgia's difficulties are clearly ethnic in nature.

2018-02-12 10:56:22 UTC  

**Macedonia:** (The New York Times, April 9,1995, p. 12) Macedonia currently has UN troops stationed within its borders in a symbolic attempt to forestall ethnic conflict. The general opinion has it that civil war between the majority Christian Slavs and the minority Albanian Moslems is not inevitable, but may break out at any time. Macedonia's difficulties are clearly ethnic in nature.

2018-02-12 10:56:45 UTC  

**Moldova: **(The New York Times. Dec. 12, 1993, Sect. I, p. 19; Dec. 27, 1993, p.8; March 1,1994, p. 8) Moldova became independent in 1991 when the old USSR broke up. Ethnic Russians residing in the trans-Dniestr region of Moldova seized control of that region in 1992 in a civil war in which 500 died. The ethnic Russians were aided by Russian Cossacks that poured into Moldova, and then Russian troops occupied the trans-Dniestr region of Moldova to protect Russian ethnics living there. Facing impossible odds, in 1994 the Moldovan people voted in a government of former communists that essentially granted autonomy to the Russians of the trans-Dniestr region. The trans-Dniestr region of Moldova is currently occupied by Russian troops, and Moldova is a vassal state of Russia that responds as expected when Russia says frog. The civil war in Moldova, its reduction to a vassal state, and its ongoing occupation by foreign troops are difficulties that are clearly ethnic in origin.

2018-02-12 10:57:33 UTC  

**Russia:** Russia is currently fighting a civil war within its borders against its own nominal citizens who are ethnic Chechens and Moslems. The civil war in Russian is clearly tribal in nature.

2018-02-12 10:57:53 UTC  

**Serbia:** Serbia is an economically devastated police state that is currently entangled in both internal and external tribal conflicts. Serbia constantly terrorizes its internal minorities (chiefly Moslems), Serbia is also caught up in external ethnic wars. Many Serbian men are fighting covertly in Bosnia and Croatia alongside ethnic Serbs resident in those countries. If no Serbs lived in Bosnia or Croatia, Serbia would not be at war. Serbia is suffering through a devastating UN economic boycott because of its assistance to ethnic Serbs living outside its borders. Serbia is currently home to many psychotic ex-soldiers who have committed unspeakable crimes during the ethnic cleansing campaigns in Croatia and Bosnia. Serbia's problems, however self-inflicted, are clearly tribal in origin.

2018-02-12 10:58:16 UTC  

**Spain: **(The New York Times, "Basques find Inspiration as IRA Talks of Peace", April 16,1995, p. 6) Spain is currently fighting a small but nasty secessionist terrorist campaign mounted by one of its minority nationalities, the Basques. It appears that the Spanish security forces have the Basques on the ropes, but be that as it may, the terrorist secessionist campaign in Spain is clearly ethnic in nature.
