Nothing the European mind ever devised was meant to do anything but to facilitate the European's control over the world.

It is too often forgotten that when the Europeans gained enough maritime skills and gunpowder to conquer most of the world, they not only colonized the bulk of the world's people but they colonized the interpretation of history itself.
