This is all so interesting. To think they've survived as long as they have primarily due to bullying tactics! I guess you can only push people so long before they begin to fight back. I'm looking forward to those future posts.

I have a book recommendation for you, it's called The Fourth Turning. If you haven't read it yet, you should check it out. With your knowledge of history you may not learn much new but the book might reframe some things and connect a few dots. I'm only a chapter in and I'm completely enthralled by it.
