  1. That is nonsense. Each country conserved its culture, and more people died and lost their culture in other places, like Iran.

  2. No mistery, as a iberoamerican nation, is full of corrupt lords.

  3. Come on guy with your luteran prejudices about spain. Chaste system? Says that the guy whose country had until recently laws against interracial marriage? Other guys has already pointed that many of them are more or less false. I guess the problem of IberoAmerica, (Brazil too, in fact, as Camoens said, portuguese are too spanish) is that they inherited from Spain a nobility ruled society that lived from the taxes of the commoners, without worry of their conditions, and that has evolved into the parasytic politicians they have now. Still, Mexico was rich in 18 century. Chile, Cuba, Venezuela and Argentina were rich at the begin of XX century. As no IberoAmerica has been rich again after WW2, I deduce that the problem is that they are now the colonies of USA. So quite the mote of ur eye be4 accuse the spanish empire of quit all the resources and chaste system. Portugal no abusive father? Didnt you heard of the bandeirantes? You already pointed the slavery. And you didnt saw the movie La misión? The jesuits werent exploitative with the guaranis. You did no expected native americans be conquered? Have you seen rest of world? The bantu wiped the natives of half of Africa. The cossacks the siberyans, the malays the natives of indonesia... Is always the same when a society faces another better connected that has more tech and diseases. For Spegler is wasnt surprising that the arabs conquered so much, for the it was destined by a series of factors. If you think, it, is more surprising that a bunch of primitive tribes from the coasts of modern Denmark and Saxony would conquer the world imposing their language? I didnt read that part, but Spegler said that all that big chunk of north Africa and west Asia were what we could call the extended Persian cultural area, an area whose culture derived one way or other from the achaemenid empire, both in institutions and his religions, mazdeism, judaism... The sassanians, the byzantyne rebel provinces, the arabs... just diferent branchess from the same wood. Spegler says, at certain point, a barbaric newcomer from the fringes of the cultural area with the stregth of the barbarians, comes and unifies the region. That is in fat what USA did with the western culture. That is what arabs did with the post achaemenid cultural area. Other reason, Islam is in fact as untolerant as christianism in that both are commited to make the rest of faiths of the world disapear. So, in fact they both thrive because their xenophoby gives them an excuse for imperialism. And that people adopted Islam isnt so surprising, colonised people adopts the culture of the coloniser for be able of integrate in the elites. With christianism happened the same.

  4. Guy, sikhs are a new religion that arose some centurys ago Gurkas are the gurkanis, the descendents of the armies of Temur. Pashtuns arent indians. You havent mentioned any ancestral kshatriya chaste. Those are just chauvinistic legends. Any proof of them?

  5. Greed? See who is writing, a country whose ruling class religion has derived basically to wealth worship.
