Greece’s Roman Road - Chapter 236

The first is religion.

Most Europeans are Christians, while Jews believe in Judaism.

Historically, Judaism and Christianity were two religions that were incompatible with each other. For example, the Savior **** was betrayed by Judas to the Romans and crucified.

Judas is a Jew. (Actually, **** was also a Jew)

In the beginning, Christianity was just a branch of Judaism.

Later, Christianity, a rising star, developed and expanded, while Judaism fell into loneliness.

How could Christianity have a favorable opinion of Judaism?

Naturally, we must try our best to suppress Judaism.

The second is racial reasons.

The Jewish people are very closed and xenophobic, and they do not like to intermarry with foreigners.

This makes it impossible for Europeans to assimilate them at all.

Also, the Jews believed that only they were God’s chosen people, which meant that God only blessed them.

The Jews actually looked down on other nations in their hearts.

The country is ruined and the family is ruined, and they are in exile, living in the Quartet, and they also have a sense of national superiority. You can imagine how Europeans feel about them.

And there are economic reasons.

Too much money.

Think about it, if a foreigner (Jew) made a fortune in a local bank and made a fortune in all walks of life, what would others think?

In other words, their social status did not match the wealth they acquired.

Yakov himself was a refugee from Poland to Greece. Now that he saw his Jewish compatriots living in Thessaloniki, he naturally felt sympathy and helped Jacob to plead with Constantine.

The current Yakov family has once again made a fortune in Greece after climbing the big tree of Constantine.

Yakov himself helped Constantine manage the Purple Robe Foundation, and all the shareholders of the Purple Robe Foundation were Greek nobles.

Through this relationship, Yakov’s family met a lot of contacts with huge political and military power.

Yakov’s younger brother, Gad, is also a technical director at an oil company.

In addition, the Jews of Thessaloniki who have newly joined Greece, before they know it, the Jews have quietly occupied a place in the Greek kingdom.

Moreover, Constantine was also somewhat jealous of the Jewish scientists and technical talents, as well as their abundant funds.

Thinking of this, Constantine said warmly: “Mr. Jacob, for the Jews living in Thessaloniki, we will protect their property and life, you can rest assured.”

Constantine assured.

Afterwards, Constantine politely bid farewell to Mr. Jacob, the manager of the City Bank of Thessaloniki.

After the handover of work, Constantine, who had been away from Athens for several months, returned to Athens after a long absence on the battle cruiser Trikupis.

Halfway back to the Tatoi Palace, after learning that Greek Prime Minister Venizelos, who was going to London to discuss the post-war consultation meeting, had returned to Athens yesterday, Constantine directly ordered the coachman to go to the Prime Minister’s residence.

After that, he informed Venizelos about the Jews in Thessaloniki.

“Prime Minister, what do you think of the Jewish affairs?” Constantine asked directly as he looked at Constantine who came to greet him.

In matters of religion and nationality, Constantine could not have been careless.

Even the marriage of the royal family must take into account the emotions of the people. For example, after Constantine married the Crown Princess Sophie, the Crown Princess has converted to Orthodoxy.

There is also a close connection between religion and kingship. According to European traditions, the coronation ceremonies of kings of various countries are generally presided over by the archbishops of various countries.

Today’s Greece is actually a single-ethnic country, and religion is closely related to the nation – having similar religions is more conducive to understanding.

In the emotional cognition of ordinary Greek people, the identity symbol of the Greek nation is the Orthodox Church.

Hundreds of years after the country was destroyed by the Ottomans, the current Greeks are a nation reshaped by their beliefs. For example, when the Greek kingdom became independent, the Orthodox priests played an important role.

Belief in the Orthodox Church is the Greeks. This is the general consensus of the Greek people.

As for the MSLs living in Greece, it is actually a sensitive issue in Greece. Although there are hundreds of thousands of MSLs living in Greece, in Greek society, it seems that these people do not exist at all.

The Greek people tacitly chose to ignore them as a whole.

In sharp contrast, there are a large number of Slavic Christians in Macedonia, and the Greeks have a strong sense of identification with them, and these Slavs do not emotionally reject the rule of the Greek kingdom.

I have to say that the special relationship between religion is really wonderful.

After thinking for a while, Vizenilos asked back: “What policy Greece should adopt to treat Jews depends on the path Greece will take in the future. How does His Highness think Greece should develop?”

Europe at the beginning of the 20th century was a very turbulent period in European history, and it also coincided with the perfect time for the Ottoman Empire to fall into trouble and gradually disintegrate.

Who should fill the political and military vacuum left by the fall of the Ottoman Empire?

There is no doubt that if Greece wants to grow and become a powerful country, it will inevitably adopt an expansionary policy and continue to expand its territory.

Like the Thessaloniki Jews, people who are completely different from the Greeks and have different beliefs will grow in number with the expansion of Greece.

If Greece wants to expand smoothly and reduce the cost of expansion, the Greeks have to accept a less pure Greece with a single Orthodox style.

The Greek people need to have a wider tolerance to accommodate those who are different.

It’s hard to imagine what kind of bloodshed it will bring about if a country with a single ethnic group wants to expand successfully. It can’t learn to clean up the Jews and directly engage in the costly policy of genocide.

Such an extreme policy, UU reading www. uukanshu.com will cost Greece dearly and reduce the likelihood of success for Greece.

The experience of the Ottoman Empire at the beginning of its establishment is of great reference for the expansion of Greece.

In the early Ottoman Empire, it was more like Rome than Rome. It doesn’t matter if the ethnicity is different, and it doesn’t matter if the religion is different.

It was such a tolerant and enlightened policy adopted by the Ottoman Empire in the early and middle stages that won the approval of the Greeks, and made the Greeks, who were desperate for the rotten rule of the Eastern Roman Empire at the end, turned to the embrace of the Ottoman Empire established by aliens.

(Like the last reigns of various dynasties, the normal social order has been completely lost in the late Eastern Rome, and even the Greeks themselves abandoned Eastern Rome)

The Ottoman Empire was able to quickly digest the legacy of the Eastern Roman Empire, and it grew rapidly, becoming a great empire spanning the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa. The enlightened ethnic and religious policies definitely contributed to it.

Of course, it is also the lesson of the Ottoman Empire that the enlightened policy should be based on the predominance of the Greek population.

Venizelos is undoubtedly an imperialist who advocates restoring the glory of the Eastern Roman Empire. It is completely impossible for him to rely on narrow nationalism to build a new Roman Empire.

For this question, he has obviously already thought about it.
