Hans Vogel’s How Europe Became American is a perfect step-by-step summary of how the Old Continent turned into a clone of the New World. Tracing the history of the brother wars that have ravaged the West, and America’s skillful exploitation of their fallout, the book clearly demonstrates how the United States, with the aid of its ever-faithful lackey England, has purposely and insidiously fomented conflicts. Always driven by avaricious interests, the US has enriched itself through its back-door participation, based on staged incidents to rally the gullible masses.
How did English become the lingua franca? How did America become the sole superpower and the global policeman with the biggest stick? Why is Europe voluntarily relinquishing its status as the world’s mightiest civilization? The author answers all these questions in a revealing and easy to follow manner, which keeps the reader riveted and makes him question the “official” narrative shoved down his throat on a daily basis by the agenda-driven mainstream media and systematically corrupted educational institutions.
Stupidly, given the title, thought this would be more focused on more modern American influence on European on-goings, but it's basically your standard rightoid interpretation of European history over the last 500 or so years. It does a decent job at that, but it's also been written 1000 times already (and better elsewhere tbh).
A brief history of Europe in the 20th century, but in opposition to the dominant liberal triumphalist narrative. What’s most fascinating is the portrayal of European culture before World War I and the imposition of Anglo-American hegemony. The era when French and German, not English, were the international languages. An interesting critique with some out of left field musings: Hitler may have survived the Bunker, the Hiroshima-Nagasaki bombings really weren’t atomic.
