I discovered that a key moment in Roman history was a very little-discussed raid by pirates on the Port of Rome at Ostia.

Rome was at that point the dominant world superpower, and there was no state in the world that would ever have dared to attack Rome. But the Romans were attacked by a group of stateless desperados who set fire to the Port. The flames may well have been visible in Rome itself. And this sent a shockwave through Rome, because if pirates could strike that close to the imperial capital, nowhere was safe.

And in this panicky atmosphere - an atmosphere of panic, I might say, which was deliberately whipped up by ambitious politicians - the Roman people took a series of fatal steps, surrendering some of their liberties and some of their control over their government. And in doing so, they sewed the seeds of the destruction of their own democracy.

And the more I looked at that event, the more it seemed familiar to me and the parallel with 9/11 - and in particular the response to it.

1. One historian argues the French and Indian War directly resulted in the events that started the American Revolution. (1)Write
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The French and Indian War directly influenced the subsequent American Revolution. This war, fought between 1756 and 1763, was the North American scenario of the Seven Years' War, which took place in Europe and in which France and Great Britain faced each other.

In America, the French were supported by various native tribes, and the battle territory was the Ohio River Valley. Both powers disputed the colonial territories of the North American continent, and in 1763, with the British victory, Canada became part of the British Empire. Furthermore, the French threat to the Thirteen Colonies was neutralized.

Although the colonists had been the main combatants, the British decided that the expenses of the war should be covered by the colonies themselves and not by Great Britain, since these had benefited from the defeat of France, so the Parliament passed a series of laws imposing taxes and fees on the colonies, which had no legislative representation in London. This led to a series of protests and mobilizations seeking to roll back these measures, but they were not heard.

This situation worsened with the Boston Tea Party and the subsequent sanction of the Coercitive Acts, until in 1775, in the midst of the British occupation of Boston, the American Revolutionary War began.
