Nowadays, people often explain everything that happens with the help of conspiracy theories. So it was in the past centuries. Belief in secret conspiracies and the machinations of unknown forces determined the course of historical events.
In the distant past, when an epidemic broke out in a particular European country, the distributors of the infection considered strangers, people of a different faith. Measures to protect against the epidemic often came down to the persecution of Jews. Since ancient times, there has been a legend that Jews have been using the blood of baptized babies to perform rituals during their holidays.
In history, Richard III went as a cruel, hated by a tyrant. However, modern researchers offer to look differently at one of the most famous kings of England. Over the years of the reign of Henry VIII, England has changed beyond recognition. Where it was impossible to succeed openly, this king resorted to the cunning inherent in his soul from birth. The "worst Englishman of the XVII century" was called the Titus of OUTS. Who is he?
"Spanophobia" began to spread in Europe on the eve of the Reformation era and finally took shape at the time of prototry wars between Protestant states and Catholic Spain in the 16th century, but the term itself appeared recently - a little over a hundred years ago. Opponents of the Spaniards accused them of mass crimes against the indigenous population of America, while the same crimes committed later by the British in North America, or the British, French and Belgians in Africa, were simply silent.
The eve of the French Revolution, historians have long called the time of "great fear". The panic, then covering France then, for a long time changed the course of world history. It was no longer possible to live as before
