Pradyumna: "In the lower stages of human civilization, there is always competition to lord it over the material nature..."
Prabhupada: Hmm. That is going on. The great two wars began from Europe simply on this basis. The German and Englishmen. The Englishmen, by their colonization, they made the whole world red in the map. Africa and Asia, India and America, Canada. And the Germans thought, "So this shopkeepers' nation..." Hitler used to say "shopkeepers' nation." "How they have occupied the whole world, and we are so intelligent? We are manufacturing so many things. We have no market to sell." That is the cause of the two great wars. This is a fact. Anyone, any politician, any gentleman knows what was the cause. The cause was Germany is always envious of England. Why this enviousness? Because England wants to lord it over, send Lord Clive to India to exploit. And the German wants that "We have got so many things manufactured. We cannot sell." That is the cause of war: lord it over. Everyone is trying to lord it over. The whole economic situation. Everyone is trying to become "the lord of all I survey." Yes. "In the lower stage of human civilization, there is always competition to lord it over the material nature..." That is the lowest stage of human civilization. But that is passing on as the highest stage of... Anyone who has developed to how to exploit the resources of nature, that nation is called to be very highly civilized or advanced. But that is the lowest stage of civilization. Everyone is trying to make economic development by exploiting the world--digging the earth, the mines, the... This is lowest stage, just like animal civilization.

It was sad that a lot of people lost their lives including my Gilbertese relatives and family friends who were living peacefully in their home country.We were defenseless against the Japanese who thought they could win this war!

Read one square mile of hell gives you a good idea of what the marines went through. Thing to walk through neck deep water 700 yards to shore with the japanese furring at you every step of the way. Much respect to the marines that served there.

Your posting the color videos of the Pacific theater is commendable. Virtually impossible for me is visualizing naval conflict, so the video is essential.
