The difference between the Rothschilds and the Rothschilds

They are the same family, but there are differences due to the transliteration of the names.

Rothschild family: The most mysterious ancient family on earth, a controller hidden in the dark side of the world, a powerful family that has controlled the economic lifeline of this planet for nearly two centuries! Perhaps it is unfamiliar to most ordinary people, because in the era of mass media, people may only focus on prominent names like "Rockefeller Family" or "Morgan Family". In the United States before World War II in the 20th century, there was a classic saying to describe the situation in the United States at that time: "The Democratic Party belongs to the Morgan family, while the Democratic Party belongs to the Rockefeller family..." In fact, this sentence should be followed by One sentence: "Both Rockefeller and Morgan once belonged to the Rothschilds!"

The Rothschild family is a prestigious financial family in Europe and even the world. It flourished in the early 19th century, and its founder was Mayer Amschel Bauer. He and his five sons, the "Roche Five", successively opened banks in Frankfurt, London, Paris, Vienna, Naples and other famous European cities. Established the largest financial kingdom in the world at that time. In their heyday, their transformative power made the princes and nobles of Europe submit to their defeat. To this day, the world's major gold market is also controlled by them. The fourth generation, Guy Rothschild, is a world-famous banker. His experience has been ups and downs with the fate of his family.

Mayer Rothschild's original name was Mayer Amschel Bauer (Mayer Amschel Bauer), and later changed his surname to Rothschild (German for red shield).

His five sons are:

Amschel Mayer Rothschild (1773~1855) - Frankfurt

Salomon Mayer Rothschild (1774 ~1855) -- Vienna

Nathan Mayer Rothschild (1777~1836) -- London

Calmann Mayer Rothschild (1788~1855) -- Naples

James Mayer Rothschild (1792~1868) -- Paris

The family motto of the Rothschild family: "When money makes noise, bad words stop abruptly." "As long as you are united, you are invincible; the day you break up will be the beginning of your loss of prosperity." "We must maintain family harmony."

In 19th century Europe, Rothschild was almost a synonymous with money and wealth. The financial empire established by this family influenced the development of the entire Europe and even the history of the entire world.

Meyer Rothschild. The Rothschild family spent more than two centuries in obscurity in Frankfurt, and it was not until the 18th century that they began to prosper. It was Meyer Rothschild (1744~1812) who made this ancient family prosperous.

Meyer was very smart since he was a child, so his parents sent him to a Jewish religious school to study, hoping that he would become a rabbi when he grew up. But Meyer didn't have much interest in this. When his parents died, he gave up studying business and entered the business field. At that time, he was 20 years old and started a business of buying and selling antiques and ancient coins, and also exchanged coins. Because of his shrewdness and ability, and relying on the powerful local William Earl, the business became more and more prosperous. Later, he not only dealt in cotton products, tobacco and alcohol, but also began to engage in banking. More than 20 years later, he became the richest man in Frankfurt.

If the Rothschilds had been operating in Frankfurt, their influence would have been limited to Germany. However, the far-sighted Meyer Rothschild let his five sons leave Frankfurt, leave Germany, and disperse throughout Europe.

The first Rothschild family to develop abroad was Meyer’s third son, Nathan. He came to London, England alone in 1804 and started doing some cotton business. At that time, Europe was undergoing the Napoleonic Wars, and some German nobles fled to Britain, including Count William of Frankfurt. In order to protect his property, Earl William entrusted Nathan to purchase a large number of British bonds, and Nathan took the opportunity to start a bond and stock business himself. With his shrewdness and talent, Nathan soon made a fortune and became a giant in the financial securities industry in London. Later, he lost no time in providing huge military expenditures to the British government and established close ties with London's military and political dignitaries.

Nathan's success in England encouraged the old Rothschild. In order to facilitate financial and trade exchanges between Britain and the European continent, he sent his youngest son James to France in 1811 and established a foothold in Paris. A few years later, Solomon, the second eldest son, and Karl, the fourth eldest son, established branches of the Rothschild Family Bank in Vienna, Austria, and Naples, Italy, respectively. In this way, a financial and business empire was formed with the elder Meyer Rothschild and his eldest son Amschel based in their hometown of Frankfurt, and the other sons distributed in London, Paris, Vienna and Naples.

One of the important business skills of the Rothschild brothers is to use their branches in various European countries to obtain political and economic information and communicate with each other quickly. In this way, they can often quickly understand the political and economic trends in various places, recommend actions, and win by surprise.

For example, when Napoleon was confronting the European coalition forces in 1814, the war situation was changing and the British capitalists were waiting and watching. Nathan in London learned the news one day earlier than the British government - the war had reversed and Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo. He now sold a large amount of British government bonds, sold them at a high price, and then bought a large amount of British government bonds, which depreciated greatly. As a result, he made a huge profit. A century later, the Rothschild family in London received news that the Japanese navy had completely annihilated the Russian fleet two days earlier than the Japanese embassy in the UK. Because the Rothschild family is well-informed, they are known as the "omniscient Rothschilds."

In order to maintain confidentiality, they have their own special messengers and use passwords to communicate with each other. For example, the old Rothschild's code name was "Arnoldi", he called Earl William "Goldstein", and he called his investment in Britain "dried cod". A few years later, when the Rothschild family expanded to the Americas, they still used this method to maintain ties between Europe and the United States. When the American Civil War was coming to an end, Lionel (son of Nathan, 1808~1879) in London received a telegram from his agent from America, which stated: "Mr. Shalem is coming." Sholem is the transliteration of "peace" in Yiddish. The information delivery system within the Rothschild family was so fast and reliable that Queen Victoria sometimes preferred to use the Rothschild courier to deliver her letters instead of using the British diplomatic bag.

By the middle of the 19th century, a huge Rothschild financial empire was formed in Europe. Whenever there is a war, they provide military loans to various governments and provide reparations to the defeated countries after the war. They opened banks in various places, engaged in securities, stock trading and insurance businesses, invested in industry and commerce, railways and communications industries, and later developed into steel, coal, oil and other industries. Their influence penetrated into every corner of the economic life of Europe, America and the colonies.

The influence of the Rothschild family on European history can be seen from its help in helping the British government purchase the Suez Canal. One Sunday night in 1875, Lionel hosted a banquet for British Prime Minister Disraeli (who was also Jewish) at his London mansion. During the dinner, Lionel suddenly received a telegram from the Rothschild branch in France, saying that the Egyptian king planned to buy the 177,000 Suez Canal shares he held to the French government due to lack of funds, but he was not satisfied with France's proposal. Not satisfied with the price, he expressed his willingness to sell it to other countries for 4 million pounds. Disraeli immediately held a cabinet meeting the next day, and everyone unanimously agreed that Britain would buy the shares. However, the funds could not be raised as Congress was in recess at the time.

Therefore, Lionel made a decisive decision, and the London branch of Rothschild Bank provided 4 million pounds to the British government to buy these stocks first. This move gave Britain control of the Suez Canal, bringing huge political, military and economic benefits. Lionel Rothschild became a hero admired by the whole country overnight.

Although the Rothschild family has huge wealth and has entered the upper class of Europe and the United States, they have always adhered to Jewish traditions and safeguarded Jewish interests as more important than doing business and making money. Most members of the Luo family insist on intermarriage within the family. The companies and businesses affiliated to this family follow the Jewish Sabbath rules and do not do any business on Saturdays. In 1820, Nathan announced that he would not do business with any German city that refused to grant citizenship to Jews. In 1850, when Karl lent money to the Pope, he made a request to the Vatican to dismantle the Jewish ghetto in Rome. In the 19th century, the Rothschild Bank in London announced that it would not lend money to the Russian Tsar because the Tsarist government persecuted and abused Russian Jews.

Lionel became a member of the British House of Commons in 1858. He did not want to do it in the Christian way, but required the Jewish way to press the Hebrew Bible with his hands and wear a Jewish hat on his head to take the oath. The nobles in the House of Lords initially opposed it, but later agreed. This was unusual in Britain, where Christianity was the state religion, and a victory for the Jews, who had long been discriminated against. Twenty-seven years later, Lionel's son Nathaniel became Britain's first Jewish nobleman and member of the House of Lords. He also took the oath in the Jewish way of his father.

The Luo family also actively participated in various Jewish activities and donated many charitable funds to Jewish societies. The family also has close ties with the Zionist movement. Its member in France, Baron Edmond (1845~1934), provided about $6 million in funds to the early Jewish immigrants in Palestine in the early 20th century to help the immigrants purchase land and production equipment and settle down. Walter of London (1868~1937) served as Chairman of British Zionism. It was he who, together with the Zionist leader Weizmann, was active in Britain during the First World War, finally bringing the British government to the forefront in the form of a letter from Balfour, the Foreign Secretary, to Lord Walter Rothschild , issued the famous "Balfour Declaration", which ultimately led to the establishment of the State of Israel.

In short, the Roche family is a typical Jewish family around. Leopold Lionel once said this sentence, which probably reflects and represents the thoughts of all members of this family: "I have two great honors: first, I am a member of the Rothschild family; second, I am a member of the Rothschild family; , I am a Jew".

The Rothschild family has been active on the international stage for more than two hundred years and has had an important impact on Europe and the world. The reputation of this family is probably only comparable to that of the Kennedy family in the United States in the 20th century. People have various comments on the successful activities of this family. Some people regard it as a symbol of Jewish wisdom, wealth, influence and philanthropy. Others regard it as a living example of Jewish enterprises using money to conquer the world.

The Rothschild family made a fortune by doing ancient coin business and making war fortune, and later mainly invested in the financial industry. The Rothschild family has five sons, who control London, Paris, Vienna, Naples, Frankfurt, New York and Berlin respectively. They have become the biggest force in the European financial market and the political situation. After the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in 1833, Rothschild in London provided 20 million pounds to compensate slave owners for their losses; in 1854, they also provided 16 million pounds for Britain's war with Russia in Crimea. British pound loans; in 1871, they spent another 100 million pounds to pay France's reparations to Prussia for the Franco-Prussian War; they also controlled the railways throughout Europe, and all French loans to Russia were provided by this family; in During the American Civil War, they had become a major source of federal revenue.

With their unique Jewish behavior, they have shined in a foreign land and become the world's leading tycoons.

The rise of the Rothschild family fully reflects the Jewish way of making money and national characteristics. In the glorious history of more than 200 years, the family has always maintained inexhaustible creativity and strong cohesion. Although their family branches are large, they have always maintained a force of mutual support and mutual promotion.

In an environment where the anti-Semitic wave was surging, they used their wisdom and calmness to fight and avert danger; especially in the contest with Hitler, they relied on their wealth and extraordinary negotiation wisdom to convince the Nazi leader All calculations are lost and there is nothing to do. On the one hand, they resisted anti-Semitic countries by refusing to lend to anti-Semitic countries; on the other hand, they gave huge help to Jewish charities and even the Zionist cause. The Balfour Declaration, praised by Jews around the world as the "true Magna Carta," was issued in the form of a letter from the British Foreign Office to Lord Nathaniel Meyer Rothschild, the British branch of the Rothschild family. .

The Rothschild family is not only the financial helmsman in the economic world, but also a well-deserved "red shield" in the overall life of the Jewish nation (Rothschild is German "Rothschild", meaning "Red Shield"). [Edit this paragraph] Major events in the history of the Rothschild family

Meyer: founder of the "Red Shield" family

The word Rothschild originated from "Red Shield".

The Red Shield of the Rothschild family. If he meets people with huge potential interests, such as nobles, lords, big financiers, etc., he is willing to make huge sacrifices to deal with them. After the two parties have established a deep relationship that cannot be shaken, they can then obtain greater benefits from such powerful people.

This family has settled in the Jewish Quarter of Frankfurt, Germany since the 16th century. The Rothschild family spent more than two centuries in obscurity in Frankfurt, and it was not until the 18th century that they began to prosper. It was Meyer Rothschild who made this ancient family begin to prosper.

Meyer was born in 1743. When he grew up, he went to Hanover Bank to study financial practice. At the age of 20, he returned to Frankfurt and engaged in antique trading. For some unknown reason, Meyer always placed a red shield in front of his store, so people around him gradually called the family "Red Shield". "Red Shield" translated into German is: Rothschild.

At that time, princes and nobles from various European countries generally collected ancient coins. Meyer then personally edited the "Handbook of Ancient Coins", attached detailed explanations, and mailed it to princes and nobles everywhere. The purpose is simple, I hope my store can become a royal designated store, so that my business can make huge profits. Most of the letters were lost, but Meyermeier's mailings continued. Finally, the Duke of Hesse agreed to his request.

Meyer, who had been waiting for this opportunity, sold his collection of precious ancient badges and coins to the Duke of Hesse at a price that was almost a gift. At the same time, Meyer also tried his best to help the Duke collect ancient coins, and often introduced him to some customers who could make him several times the profit, and spared no effort to help the Duke make money.

This approach of completely investing money, effort and energy on a specific person would later become a basic strategy of the Rothschild family. If they meet people with huge potential interests, such as nobles, lords, big financiers, etc., they are willing to make huge sacrifices to deal with them, provide them with information, and provide dedicated services, so that both parties can establish a deep relationship that cannot be shaken. Later, greater benefits can be obtained from such powerful people.

The Duke of Hesse was one of the richest men in Europe at the time, with a net worth of US$200 million. His business was selling troops. Hesse's biggest customer was Britain, because at that time Britain needed a large number of troops to control its colonies in North America. When the Duke of Hesse had to leave Frankfurt for Denmark to escape Napoleon's attack, he left 3 million pounds for Meyer to keep. This money was originally money paid by the British government to the Hessian troops, but was secretly used by Hesse. The flow was intercepted and forwarded to Meyer. It was this huge sum of money that made the "Red Shield" family the first international bankers in Europe at that time.

After Napoleon's first defeat, Meyer had already returned the 3 million pounds, together with the interest and interest on it, to the Duke of Hesse. This undoubtedly gave the already famous "Red Shield" family another highly effective brand advertisement - how reputable our family is!

What is even more amazing is that Meyer After unremitting efforts, an intelligence transmission network spanning the entire Europe and exclusive to this family was gradually established. It was this highly efficient intelligence and communication network that created the legendary story of the second generation of "Red Shield" making full use of their information advantages to make a fortune during the Battle of Waterloo.

In order to maintain confidentiality, they have their own special messengers and use passwords to communicate with each other. For example, Meyer's code name was "Arnoldi", he called the Count of Hesse "Goldstein", and he called his investments in Britain "dried cod". A few years later, when the Rothschild family expanded their power to the Americas, they still used this method to maintain ties between Europe and the United States. When the American Civil War was coming to an end, Lionel in London received a telegram from his agent from America, which stated: "Mr. Charlem is coming." Shalem means "peace".

The information transmission system within the Rothschild family is so fast and reliable that Queen Victoria of England sometimes preferred to use the Rothschild family's courier to deliver her letters instead of using the British diplomatic bag.

Natan: The tiger father has no dog son

If ordinary people hear the news, they will definitely buy a large amount of government bonds, and others will follow suit, and everyone will make money. However, Natan made full use of the time difference of a few hours and the dependence of others on him, selling first and then buying, which deceived almost everyone and only allowed him to make a lot of money.

Meyer has five sons, almost all of whom inherited many of his father’s excellent qualities. The five brothers are scattered in major European countries: Britain, Germany, France, Italy and Austria. Moreover, the five brothers maintain frequent contact, which has become the lifeblood of maintaining the prosperity and stability of the Rothschild family.
