Ancient History Books Show - Charlemagne Was the First President of the United States of Europe

In the beginning, there were unknown waves of peoples across Europe, receding to southern caves in France during Ice Ages, but coming back north and reclaiming their Europe these past 15,000 years. They had been here, coming north and going south as the waves of cold came and went. By 15,000 years ago as the ice faded the more southern animals were able to come back and peoples of central Europe again had diet beyond moss and reindeer. It happened.

Recorded history has humans found in bogs in Denmark amazingly preserved, and we know we slowly evolved into tribes and related groups. By the time of Roman invasions we have their records on how terribly savage were the peoples much of Europe had hiding in swamps, narrow pathways to attack any stray Roman legions, heavy with their armour in close combat in foreign terrain. Over those centuries, all invaded each other: the Hun at Rome, the Vandal and Visigoth at anywhere with booty. All this a thousand years before the golden hordes arrived at the gates of Europe.

Then came Charlemagne (742-814 B.C.E.), the Frank. These German peoples from central Germany had poured west during the Roman retreat to defend Rome from others from Germany. As then, It is happening again: the central, most populated portion of western Europe has reached out and embraced the neighbors, after years of attacking them. The Franks poured into Roman Gaul as the Romans left, and the most amazing events unfolded.

These German Franks took over Gaul, but took on the language of the locals, which was a country version of Roman Latin. It evolved, brought in some German concepts, but the German Franks who took over Gaul created France, the French language and customs they now feel are all so distinct and unique from their less cultivated German bosom friends. What is so wonderful after so many centuries of bloodshed and wars, French Napoleon attacking Germany and others; the Kaiser, then Hitler coming on back with more and nastier manners. It did take World War Two and Uncle Sam to bang some heads together and say time to grow up and be mighty, Europe.

And call me Charles, but they are doing it. 26 nations of Europe with no borders. Charles could drive his carriage from Lisbon to Latvia and beyond. He would be so proud. Visionaries love to watch copy cats copy.
