“Europe and the euro zone have no reason, rationally, to push Greece out of the euro. But this is a system in which many parties, many countries, many governments, many electorates participate and we could have events which, rationally, are not controllable.” CountryReasonGovernmentPartyEventsEuropeZoneNo ReasonGreeceEuroElectorate Author:Evangelos Venizelos
“There are four great events in history, the siege of Troy, the life and crucifixion of Christ, the exile of Krishna in Brindaban and the colloquy on the field of Kurukshetra. The siege of Troy created Hellas, the exile in Brindaban created devotional religion, (for before there was only meditation and worship), Christ from his cross humanized Europe, the colloquy at Kurukshetra will yet liberate humanity.” HumanityChristFourMeditationEventsFieldsWorshipEuropeCrossesExileKrishnaCrucifixionDevotionalSiegeGreat EventsCrucifixion Of ChristEvents In History Author:Sri Aurobindo

“The events in Prague, together with the Berlin blockade, convinced the European recipients of American economic assistance that they needed military protection as well: that led them to request the creation of a North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which committed the United States for the first time ever to the peacetime defense of Western Europe.” FirstsWellsStatesTogetherUnitedUnited StatesEconomicMilitaryEventsCreationNeededFirst TimeEuropeOrganizationWesternCommittedProtectionDefenseConvincedAssistanceRequestBerlinTreatiesWestern EuropePragueBlockades Author:John Lewis
“When you see what goes on in Iraq on a daily basis - more people dying in car bombings - you almost brush it aside after a while. To actually comprehend the human tragedy of these events is overwhelming. We see so many images, but there's always the sense, for Americans, that it's not in our backyard. That's another reason why the war in Bosnia was so fascinating; because it really was in Europe's backyard. It was in Europe. And they didn't do anything about it for years. It took the Americans to end that war, really. That's a shame.” PeopleYearsHumansWarEndsReasonDyingCarEventsGoes OnEuropeBasesTragedyShameIraqReason WhyFascinatingOverwhelmingBrushesBombingBackyardsBosniaPeople Dying Author:Richard Shepard

“The fact is that philosophy has been a decisive source of inspiration in all the great crises that Europe has faced. It has been so in the time that preceded the fall of the Roman Empire, when Augustine of Hippo delineated the features of a new spiritual civilization; in the age of religious wars, when Descartes and Hobbes established the principles of modern science and politics; and at the turn of the French Revolution, interpreted by Kant and Hegel as an event destined to change the history of the world.” WorldHas BeensWarPhilosophyFactsInspirationAgeSpiritualTurnsFallReligiousPrinciplesModernEventsSourceRevolutionCivilizationEuropeCrisisFeaturesEmpiresDestinedWorld HistoryRoman EmpireModern ScienceFrench RevolutionHegelAugustineHippoHobbesSource Of InspirationReligious Wars Author:Roberto Esposito
