Earlier there was Henry II in 1171 and John in 1210. Sometimes these guys
were "invited" by local competitors for power, much like the Americans in
Vietnam. Race and the Reformation in European exploitation of "nature" are
afterthoughts, though important afterthoughts, was my only point. The
impetus was already there. Have to look deeper than Christianity for the
source of evil in the world. But we all know this.
