Many wars and the expansion of empires in history are actually closely related to bankers.

Many people think wars are decided by national leaders, but in fact, bankers and the financial system are often behind them.

yín háng jiā银行家tōng guò通过jiè qián借钱gěiguó jiā国家dǎ zhàng打仗rán hòu然后shōu qǔ收取gāo é高额lì xī利息ràngguó jiā国家xiàn rù陷入zhài wù债务

Bankers lend money to countries for war and then charge high interest, causing countries to fall into debt.

zhè yàng这样yín háng jiā银行家jiùnéngzhuànhěnduōqián

In this way, bankers can make a lot of money.

The modern financial system needs continuous growth; without new markets and resources, the system will have problems.

suǒ yǐ所以yǒu xiē有些guó jiā国家huìbié de别的dì fāng地方dǎ zhàng打仗zhēng duó争夺zī yuán资源

Therefore, some countries go to war elsewhere to compete for resources.

For example, the US and Europe sometimes participate in wars in the Middle East or Eastern Europe, which also involve economic interests.

In fact, the financial system can be changed; for example, German banks used to give low-interest loans to small businesses to help economic development.

We need to learn to think and understand the reasons behind wars, not just believe the surface-level news.
