What we are experiencing is the change from a unipolar world under United States into a multipolar world where many great powers

Are competing for resources

What is kept globalization going over the last 70 years is the navy of the United States and that at the end of world War two only

America and Britain had an effective global navy

Now the United States has 70 destroyers and you need between 500 to 700 destroyers to adequal protect international trade

What places like Britain, France and the United States as well as other nations with fantastic waterways and geography

Their patley powerful due to their positioning places in sub-saharan Africa struggle due to the high plateaus which makes it hard

To build infrastructure inland and they lack natural waterways

As for China it is heavily dependent on imports and food and energy which are kept Safe by the United States

I would say American history is very different to European history and their attitudes to race relations are very different

In France you can only be French you cannot be anything else except French they have been that way since the French Revolution
