So in my reading about various powerful nations in Europe in the last 500 years I've noticed a recurring cycle:
The Jєωs come in large numbers, the nation experiences the greatest power it has ever known, the Jєωs leave (or are expelled), and then the nation goes back to having a normal amount of power.
Isn't it true that the Dutch, the Spanish, the Portuguese, the English, and now the Americans have achieved their greatest power when Jєωs were at the helm?
Any powerful European nations in the last 500 years that were not controlled by Jєωs, at least by proxy?
