Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This captivating book explores why England has been historically disliked by many European nations since the 18th century. The author traces this animosity back to the 11th century, when several powers in Europe vied for control of the continent, and England became a thorn in their side by consistently opposing the efforts of each in turn to achieve dominance. The book recounts how England thwarted the ambitions of the Papacy, France, Spain, Holland, and eventually Germany, earning the hostility of these nations in the process. Furthermore, the book examines how England's global reach and its establishment of civilizations outside Europe further alienated European powers, who saw these ventures as a threat to their own influence. The author argues that while each of these powers rendered significant services to humanity, their aspirations turned despotic when their strength grew, leading England to oppose them to ensure its own security and that of Europe. This book sheds light on a complex historical phenomenon, providing insights into the role of power dynamics and the interplay of national interests in shaping the course of history.
