New World Order

This here is filled with events of the past, present, and potential future. For the purpose of this piece, I've had to make extensive research. Be- cause generally speaking, the order of the world today doesn't make it so obvious how some unknown and known forces determine how we live our lives.
Much like me, did you have an ob- session with the Illuminati, mysteri- ous hand signs in music videos, and 666 at a very young age? When you could have had a normal childhood like everyone else? Well. If you fall into that category, worry not, this write-up is neither a conspiracy nor is it a theory. It is as real-life as it gets. So, you wouldn't have to revert to your dollar store detective Sherlock Holmes online persona. I've taken on the burden to do that instead.

There is currently a new world order that is gravitating towards its goals today. Because of the war in Ukraine, and other factors, it is be- coming more and more accelerated. I should hope that we can explore all the grey areas together in this piece. So, buckle up. We are about to get deep into the weeds.
A New Super-Power

The world as we know it today is ever-evolving. People may fail to change with time, but time changes regardless. You can easily be left behind if you never get used to the idea of an ever-changing world.

Before the beginning of the First World War (1914), there existed a form of a multi-polar world (multiple powerful countries), where countries were concerned with never having a single country/ empire that was hegemonic in nature. In Europe, Britain played the role of maintaining a balance of power. Balance of power in essence is a situation where Country Ballies with Country C because Country A has become too powerful, and therefore poses a threat to the national security of Countries B and
C.

This is mostly why countries form alliances. In most cases, it acts as a check on any country that is becoming or has become too powerful.

The most powerful alliance before WW1 were the Triple Entente, which consisted of Britain, France, and the Russian Empire. The rival alliance was the Triple Alliance which was comprised of the Ger- man Empire, Austria-Hungary, and Italy.

The United States was still a state that enjoyed its isolation since it only recently gained independence from Britain in 1776, so it never got involved in the European war until 1917. A major reason it got involved was the telegram that Germany had intended to send to Mexico, but the
telegram was intercepted by the British intelligence Agency. The telegram exposed Germany's plans to have Mexico declare war on the US which is a neighbouring country.

After this, the US declared war on Germany and then joined on the side of the Triple Entente. This single event introduced a to-be superpower. Following this event,. the US left its isolation position and began getting engaged in world politics. It also began ramping up its military might, especially its naval superiority in the Pacific. Two years later in 1919, the First World War ended.

Again, the U.S., although supplied resources and ammunition to the allies during WW1, when the Second World War started in 1939, it never wanted to be dragged yetagain into another European war.

But its direct involvement was inev itable following the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941. Japan launched an unprovoked attack on the to-be. world power. Japan was an ally of Germany during WW2, therefore, Germany declared war on the US. This was how the US joined the war.

By the end of WW2, Europe was in flames, China was going through a civil war, Japan had just been nuked, Africa and most parts of the world were breaking their colonial statuses and gaining independence. Only the US and USSR (Russia) remained the strongest countries in the world.

The US became the strongest in the Western world, so it made quick use of its newly gained super-power status by strengthening its grip on
Immediately after WW2 ended in 1944, the US introduced a new order. First, it set up the Bretton Woods system of monetary man- agement which established the rules for commercial and financial relations between the US et allies. The system changed the world or- der from a predominant use of gold for international relations to the use of the US Dollar currency. This was the beginning of a new world order and the rise of the United States of America as a hegemonic superpower.

A Whole New World

Shortly after the US Dollar replaced gold as the global medium of exchange, the US established the World Bank and the IMF (Interna- tional Monetary Fund) which fur- ther solidified the grip of the Dollar
In 1948, four years after WW2, the US enacted the Marshall Plan which was intended to provide economic assistance that will restore the economic infrastructure of post-war Europe. In a lot of sense, the US became the sugar daddy of Europe since WW1, when it was first dragged into an European war, and also played a major role in bringing the war to an end.

Following the economic recovery idea of the Marshall Plan, most of Europe and other US-dominated parts of the world had to make exchanges with the dollar. The US also bought oil from Saudi Arabia. and other OPEC members (Oil and Petrol Exporting Countries) using the dollar. These, among other international actions by the US, helped solidify the grip of the US on global markets.
When the Dutch (17th century) was the leading global power, the Dutch Guilder currency was the world reserve, and when Great Britain (19th century) was leading in the world, the reserve currency was the British Pound. The US became the leading world power since the end of the Second World War (20th cen- tury), thus establishing its currency, the US Dollar, as the global reserve currency. This is simply how new world orders take effect. A good study of history will help you arrive at a similar conclusion.

Not to be left behind, the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republic) also introduced similar plans to the Marshall Plan. One was military, while the other was economical. These were called Cominform and Comecon. But all these did was increase tension on the European
continent. So, in response to a perceived sense of aggression (the USSR, today's Russia, was a totalitarian empire), the US along with 11 other European states created the military alliance called NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization). To balance this, the USSR, under Nikita Khrushchev created the Warsaw Pact in 1955. But prior to this event in 1954, the KGB (called FSB today) secret police was established. Previously also in 1947, the US created the CIA which will later go on to help the US topple governments across the world.

All of these calculated and uncalcu- lated events sparked an ideological war of capitalism vs communism between the world's two great Superpowers. Each of them tried to expand their influence to other parts of the world, while they were
simultaneously trying to suppress the rise of the other. They engaged in lots of Proxy (indirect) wars. This was called the Cold War. It lasted between 1945 and 1991.

In 1991, the USSR (Soviet Union) collapsed, and it gave birth to 15 new countries (including Ukraine and Russia). The fall of this rival power led to the United States be- coming a single global superpower.

A Global Village

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, the US became the single strongest country in the world, militarily and economically. Naturally, it leveraged this and became a superpower. Established military presence in the world and tangling most of the world's economies with its own, so much that they may be trading with the US at a loss. This
