–“Q: CURT: Historically, what were England’s biggest mistakes?”–

They only really made a few:

1) Not preceding or imitating the Americans and creating a written constitution for constitutional monarchies.(What my work accomplishes)

2) Not finding accommodation with the American colonists in paying for the french and indian wars – even though the primary problem was communication distance, and when the first cable was in 1858. So 1776 to 1858, is one lifetime. Within one lifetime, the British Empire would have been undefeatable, and colonial project of modernizing the world complete – the greatest achievement in human history.

3) Trying too hard to maintain the balance of powers instead of (a) letting the Germans try to restore the HRE and defend against both France and Russia, and (b) constraining Russia from taking back Constantinople.

4) Letting the Americans take over London’s banking centrality post war, and the primacy of the Pound. The British are better global stewards, because the moral position that emerged in the middle class and aristocracy over time is superior to the american moral framework.

5) Like the Americans, not more aggressively exterminating the leftists on a scale of the Albagentsian crusade and the Spanish Inquisition. McCarthy, MacArthur and Patton were all correct.

In fact, what’s currently NATO would be far better off as the Anglosphere, or even better, the Germanosphere including the Scandinavians and the Germans, and creating allies from that position – given the hostility of France to the germans and anglos and the independence of any of the states of Europe.
