The reasons that the Prime Minister gives for making large appropriations to the military are to defense against threats (as with a largest military spending more and better military equipement would be obtained), protection of resources (due to the fact that military custody of the natural resources work as a deterrent for further invasions), and for the maintenance of independence (since it is the military who responds in case of an external aggression).

I believe that the story of the Jewish people refers to the persecution they faced for thousands of years from as early as the Middle Ages in the First Crusade to the 1930s in the Holocaust. Their perpetual discrimination due to their religion throughout history shows that religion plays a massive role in events in history/civilization.
Religion was the reason why Crusades began. Religion was the reason why Anne Hutchinson was banished from Massachusetts Colony. Religion was the reason why Queen Mary I is infamously known as Bloody Mary. Religion was the reason why heroine of France Joan of Arc was burnt at stake.
