Speaking of my country, we have never bothered anyone. In 1936 after a Banking Law, the British abandoned us, so we were forced to choose Germany instead and we followed her.
It seems it is Banking Dynasties that make the wars not the Peoples. They make them when someone try to fight them rightfully.
That's part of the reason why some people want to rein in the banks and put them under state control.
I'm not sure how banking dynasties actually make the wars, though. Not that I'm actually doubting this, but from all indications, a lot of their strategies to hold power seem to backfire.
At some point, they encouraged and stoked the fires of nationalism, until it went too far, at which point they abandoned nationalism and colonialism in favor of the globalist system we have now.
So then, instead of nationalism, they wanted to unify the world, which meant supporting the EU, the UN, and the present world system where the US and its allies are a kind of international policing service which is friendly to banking and other capitalist interests.
After WW2, they were touting a new age, a new birth of freedom, with an emphasis on peace, world unity, human rights, equality, and justice for all. It was no longer nationalistic; it was internationalistic, focusing on cooperation and common goals.
Because the Powers That Be had proclaimed so loudly their support of this new order of peace, human rights, and cooperation, they knew such ideals were incompatible with their system of colonialism around the world, along with racism and ethnocentrism in the US and elsewhere. So, those systems had to come to an end, but bankers (being the bottom feeders that they are) still had to come up with ways to salvage what profits they could within that crumbling system.
The funny thing about the ways and means the elite use to control the masses is that, even when it works according to plan, something eventually always backfires. For centuries, they used religion and the Church to control the masses, but their eventual undoing was due to the fact that most people actually, truly believed the principles of the religion which had been imposed upon them and expected the Powers That Be to practice what they preached. When it was obvious that the elite weren't doing that, they turned on them, and the ability of the Church to control the masses was diminished.
It was the same thing with nationalism, as they were dealing with genuine "true believers" in the ideals of nationalism and national liberation.
Now, they've been pushing notions of freedom, equality, justice, human rights, etc. - but now they seem beside themselves and genuinely upset because people are actually holding them to those ideals and expecting them to uphold their stated principles.
It seems that over the course of history, the elite have had to come up with new and different varieties of "opiates for the masses." They do this to control people, but the trouble with using opiates is that eventually people will get out of control - precisely because they believe what they've been fed for generations.
Bankers, capitalists, and other merchant types seem to come from a more practical side of things, where the only thing they really believe in is money and higher profits. They almost seem incredulous and shocked that there are actually people out there who are "true believers" in whatever ideals have been floating around these days.
