When we take a good look at the types behind Communism, this observation makes complete sense.

""Communism appeals to the failures, the lost, the unredeemable. Those who suffer from a sense of deep inferiority and frustration are solaced by the thought that they are the “victims” of some sort of system or exploitation." --Olivia Marie O'Grady, The Beasts of the Apocalypse [1959]"

England from King Edward III to King Henry V “was the greatest military nation in Europe” and the English army during this time had a reputation for invincibility, winning crushing victories against much larger armies at the Battles of Crécy, Poitiers, and Agincourt.

However, the article failed to mention that England was already experiencing internal conflict even before the official start of the War of the Roses. King Richard II, son of the great Edward “The Black Prince”, was deposed by his uncle King Henry IV, which led to internal conflict within England that undermined the English war effort in the Hundred Years War.

After the end of the Hundred Years War, it wasn’t until the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 that England (now part of the United Kingdom) regained its position as the premier military power in Europe.
