Do Americans and Russians look alike?

There are many races and nationalities in America. Slavs in eastern Europe are one of the races in the United States. Russians include Slavic whites, and there are also many yellow people in Central Asia. Eastern European immigrants/kloc-arrived at the end of 0/9, and many immigrated to the United States after the two world wars and the disintegration of Eastern Europe. White Americans are descendants and hybrids of European immigrants.

There are three main ethnic groups in Europe, as follows

I) Germanic language:

In the impression of some people in China, when it comes to the Germanic nation, it seems that it only refers to the Germans. In fact, this is a big misunderstanding!

A In the late Roman Empire, the Germans formed several main branches, such as East Goth, West Goth, Frank, Burgundy, Vandal, Angles, Saxony, Norman and so on. (Of course, there are some small branches).

B Lombardi, the main body of ostrogoths, later merged with Rome and became a modern northern Italian; Visigoths constitute an important source of Spanish and Portuguese today; French and Belgian Walloons (speaking French) are the result of the integration of some Franks and Celts (namely Gauls); Another part of Franks and most Saxons are the ancestors of Germanic, Austrian, most Swiss, Dutch and Flemish (Dutch-speaking) in Belgium. Angles, Saxons (that is, Saxons) and Jutes arrived in England; Some of the Norman people are naturally the ancestors of various nationalities in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland and other places today, while others have merged into English, French (North), Irish and Eastern Slavic.

As for saboteurs, have you ever heard of sabotage? The king of destruction among Germans! Under the wave of so-called barbarians invading the Roman Empire, they invaded Carthage in North Africa and founded the country through Spain. Later, in the 1920s, they crossed the sea to the north, captured Rome, the city of ten thousand cities, and almost all of them were burned down, which was much more famous than Xiang Yu in China at the end of Qin Dynasty, hence the name of looting. About a century later, Justinian of the Eastern Roman Empire sent troops to North Africa and destroyed the kingdom of Vandal. Since then, the Vandals have disappeared without a trace, and it is generally believed that they have assimilated to the local aborigines and later Arabs (there are only 400,000 to 500,000 Vandals). So, can you insist that Zidane, the former world footballer, has no saboteurs? In a word, Vandals are the worst in the history of glorious Germans, and they are not constructive at all.

Of course, the relationship between Germans and some ethnic groups in Europe today is discussed at a very general level. The actual evolution process is obviously more complicated than this, so the blood will be more mixed. But what is certain is that, by comparison, Danes, Norwegians, Swedes, Icelanders, Dutch, British and Germans are definitely the purest descendants of Germans. For example, after the fall of the Roman Empire, foreign enemies invaded England many times until A.D. 1066, but they were all Germans: first the Anglo-Saxons and Jutes, then the Vikings, Danes and Normans (the latter three were actually collectively called Normans and belonged to the northern branch of the Germans). The native Celts and ancient Britons were deported to the north and the west respectively, forming today's Scotland and Wales (Catherine Zeta-Jones is Wales).

Germany's liberalism and individualism, the concept of contract, and the spirit of courage and adventure. Together with the great Christian faith and the precious heritage of ancient Greece and Rome, it was decided from the very beginning that western civilization would be popular in the future world.

2) Slavic language:

Slavs are divided into the following three branches:

Slavs in the west-Poles, Czechs, Slovaks.

The important members of the Latin Catholic civilization circle are all Central European countries (historically, religiously, culturally and geographically, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary have always belonged to the Western civilization circle rather than Eastern Europe, and it is a misunderstanding to classify them as Eastern Europe, which is completely the product of the Cold War). Poles and Czechs were deeply influenced by Germans, especially Czechs, who were ruled by Austria for a long time. Slovaks are typical Hungarians. Czechs are rational and gentle. Because of the German and more individualistic traditions, the Hus Movement is a symbol, and it is also the first capitalist country among Slavs. Poles have religious enthusiasm and scientific talent.

B Yugoslavs-Bulgarians (the integration of Bulgarians and Slavs in Turkey), Serbs, Montenegrins, Macedonians, Croats, Slovenes and BiH. The area inhabited by Slavs in the south is often called "Balkan" (the word comes from Turkish). 15-19th century, Turks controlled most of the Balkans (except Croatia and Slovenia), which had disastrous consequences. Croats and Slovenes are lucky. They used to be ruled by Austria, which was a little Germanic. Members of the Latin Catholic civilization circle, like the Western Slavs, belong to the narrow sense of the Western civilization circle (that is, excluding the Orthodox countries). Generally speaking, only Bosnians believe in Islam, which is the crystallization of Turks for hundreds of years. Among the Slavs in the south, Croats and Slovenes have the highest overall development level, which is equivalent to the Slavs in the west. If they were not ruled by Stalin system for decades, they would never be worse than the current EU 15 countries. In fact, once the one-sided GDP output value is put aside, the five countries are ahead of the two poor countries in the European Union-Greece and Portugal.

C Eastern Slavs-divided into Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians.

In the early days of Kiev, the Russian principality was established under the rare circumstance that the internal Eastern Slavs invited a group of Nordic Germanic Normans to be their rulers. So, at first, the upper class of Eastern Slavs was mainly composed of invited aliens! ! ! Later, I went to a group of Normans and further added them to the Eastern Slavs. Therefore, there is a certain Germanic component in the blood of Eastern Slavs, which is why there are more blond people in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus than other Slavs, especially Yugoslavs, and their overall quality and historical achievements are also higher. 13-/kloc-The brutal rule of Mongols in the 5th century was just like the rule of Ottoman Turks in the Balkans. The consequences were totally disastrous, which not only interrupted the social and historical process of the normal development of the Eastern Slavs, but also led to the split of the originally unified Eastern Slavs into three independent nations: Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians. Russia's authoritarian tradition is an import influenced by Mongols.

3) Celts (Gauls):

Celts are similar in appearance to Germans, especially with red hair.

A relatively pure Celtic-Scots and Irish. In fact, they have also merged into a considerable Germanic component.

A. Scottish

Scots have a prominent position in the history of modern world civilization. Scots are an important force that constitutes white Protestants (mostly Calvinists) in Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Hume, Adam Smith, Watt, Captain Cook and Maxwell are all Scots, so is Tony Blair. There are many celebrities in various fields, which I can't remember at the moment. 1603- 1640, 1660- 1703, the Stuart dynasty in England was founded by James, a Scot who inherited the Tudor dynasty (James was the nephew of Elizabeth I).

B. Irish

As Catholics, Irish people have played an important role in the revitalization and development of Roman Catholicism in Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, and its far-reaching influence and significance are immeasurable. Of course, some Irish people converted to Protestantism, such as Reagan and Clinton; However, President Kennedy was a Catholic. The total number of Irish overseas is about 50 million, and more than 80% are Catholics.

B In addition, the French, Belgian Walloons (French-speaking) and Luxemburg are of Celtic origin.

Two. Other important ethnic groups-

1 Jews: Since the Middle Ages, some people have converted to Christianity.

Hungarians: Also known as magyars, mainly the nomadic tribes of Madzar (near Turkic) who came from Central Asia and North Asia to settle in the Danube Plain in the 9th century, merged some descendants of Germans, Slavs and Huns who had already lived here to form Hungarians. The historical position of Hungarians in Europe is very important. 1000 Hungarians quickly entered the mainstream stage in Europe after accepting Catholicism. /kloc-a crusade in the 0/3rd century was led by the Hungarian king, and Hungary made an extremely important contribution to the dangerous struggle with the Ottoman Turks in the 0/kloc-5th century. Hungarians also have good talents in science and technology, literature, music and art (similar to Poles). Hungary is a central European country, not an eastern European country.

Finns: They are close relatives of magyars, but they have absorbed too many Germanic Normans, which has been seriously Germanized. From the outside, they can't see any difference from the Germans.

Romania: the result of the long-term integration of Dacia and ancient Rome. Believe in the orthodox church.

5 Greeks: The spirit and quality of the ancient Greeks have long since disappeared.

Baltic countries: Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia. Lithuanians believe in Catholicism, while Estonians and Latvians mainly believe in Protestant Lutheranism.

Three. -

1 Bosnian Muslims.

Most Albanians who believe in Islam (like Bosnians, this is also the crystallization of centuries of tyranny by Turks).
