History Lesson from the notebooks of Rodney Fenwick




The Great War of 1914 lasted five years, and was dubbed the war to end all wars. Weapons of destruction grew to include airplanes and bigger bombs. Death toll was 15 million. It cost 9 Billion dollars worldwide.
The politics of the world led to the creation of the League of Nation in 1919. It was designed to be a political entity that would govern the world to prevent wars in the future. Unfortunately, each country that was part of the League had their own agenda's. France, America, Russia, Japan, China, England, Holland, and Switzerland were all part of it.
World banking was the real birth of capitalism, which started with the founding of the BIS, Bank for International Settlement. In 1920 the World Bank was established by the BIS. Gold, silver, steel, oil, rice, grains, beef and energy were sold as commodities and used as the standard form of financial stability. Land owners became very wealthy as a result of 'mineral rights' on the land they owned. Commodity brokers were making fortunes trading on the world stage. But the most valuable resource in the world was information. Thus the Information Age began. The Information Age is the last hope for mankind. Will the greed for money destroy the world? Or will the need to live free rise up and lead humanity to freedom?
From the start of World War I in 1914 until the Great Depression of 1929, the entire world changed. Fifteen years that saw; a war for the world, an unsteady alliance i.e. League of Nations, a group of world leader striving for peace, and a shift in power from the hands of the many to the hands of a few. The interests of the few outweighed the good of the many. And the few would protect their interests with guns and laws. And the many would do the work.
The human spirit is strong and will fight if pushed too hard. When peasants deposed kings, and slaves revolted against their masters free will drove them. When the founding fathers of America wrote the Declaration of Independence, free will drove them. And so it would be again. Someday...
