"It's too late for Germany" (but not for Poland) [1798]
In Roman province of Germania lived Sarmats (Serbs- ie Slavs). Combination of conquest and trade with Romans and Semites led to deviation of their language and formation of new ethos that was named Germanic after Roman province of Germania.
In Roman province of Moeasia (today`s Serbia) also lived Sarmats but language didn`t evolve into something new. Reasons? You know, ancient Sarmatian world wasn`t homogeneously developed. I presume due to level of cultural development of people there, people were more open to subdue itself. We have confirmation that in the middle age German guests on Serbian throne used hands and fingers to eat, while even Serbian peasant was familiar with spoon/fork since time immemorial. Backwardness and cultural shock when Sarmats of Germania encountered Romans was one of reasons of deviation of language and native culture there. With Moeasia was different. Culture there was stronger then Roman culture when Rome came to existence. There, Romans were those who accepted to share their rule over Roman Empire with Sarmatian Lords and Latin language itself was influenced by Balkan Sarmatians (ie Slavs). Plus, sure, in old Sarmatian core on Balkan, Sarmatiac (Slavic) population was concentrated and in constant flow over ancient trade routes, while in comparison to it Sarmats of Germania were isolated and less numerous. See, Sarmats of Britain were possible even more backward when they encountered Romans.
99% of Europeans still have no even idea how ancient Europe looked like and still, those people think that can be able to comprehend future of Europe without knowing past of Europe.
Its not only about history. Without real facts of past one can`t comprehend cultural, social, linguistical, etc, etc, processes. Without facts of past, one can wrongly read today`s events thinking of them as result of some fictional processes. It deviates science as a whole.
And now, when world evolving into Multi-Polar world, when becoming obvious that isolated centers won`t be able to keep rule and control only for themselves, facts would become generally available. That is why Multi-Polar world prevailing over Uni-Polar world. Progress. Progress always must prevail.
