French coins?&nbsp; Same problem with their overseas possessions.&nbsp; South Africa?&nbsp; Apartheid.&nbsp; Coins from Predominantly Catholic countries? The Inquisition.&nbsp; The Crusades&nbsp; They were cruel to both Muslims and other Christians.&nbsp; Russia? Killed 20 million of their own people, China?&nbsp; The same. Japan?&nbsp; Once more war atrocities.&nbsp; If you use the excuse that they oppressed or treated some other group cruelly you can eliminate almost everything.&nbsp; OK so you narrow it down to eliminating just those era when they were actually behaving badly.&nbsp; That chops history full of holes and you have a false history that is all sweetness and light that can&#039;t explain why the changes happen and what caused them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
