Excerpt from The Vampire of the Continent
Founded on piracy, the British Empire has been built up at the expense of humanity. The English commenced by robbing the Spanish treasure-ships acts of murderous and dastardly brigandage which are held up to Englishmen to-day as deeds of prowess. They continued by robbing Canada and the States from the French, Gibraltar from the Spaniards, In dia from the French and the Portuguese, South Africa from the Dutch, Egypt and Cyprus from the Turks, Malta from the Italians and last, but not least, Ireland from the Irish. Over the whole world we can follow the trail of the venomous serpent, which has fastened its deadly fangs into so many victims. Over the whole world we hear the cry for vengeance and for redemption.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the rise of England as a world power from the 16th century onwards, arguing that the nation's success was built upon a foundation of piracy, robbery, and a ruthless exploitation of other countries. The author argues that England's strategic position as an island nation provided it with the ideal base to wage a campaign of economic warfare against its European neighbors, and that its leaders understood early on the importance of fostering a strong domestic industry while simultaneously weakening those of rival nations. By skillfully manipulating the religious and political tensions of the Continent, England repeatedly pitted nations against each other, using their conflict to its own advantage. The book details how England exploited the Thirty Years' War to cripple Germany's manufacturing base, how it waged wars against both Spain and the Netherlands under false pretenses, and how it manipulated France's expansionist ambitions to its own economic benefit. The book's insights into the nature of England's imperial ambitions, as well as its methods for achieving them, offer a thought-provoking perspective on the historical development of a major global power.
