Their Finest Hour

On June 18, 1940, with its ally France defeated, Winston Churchill did not declare that it was only Britain’s finest hour but also and more importantly the finest hour of the huge worldwide union of peoples in the British Empire and Commonwealth. “…if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, this was their finest hour.”  As it turned out, the Second World War was also the finest hour of two great unions of peoples in unions of states, the United States with 48 states and the Soviet Union with 15 states. The two unions of states, allied with the British Empire, destroyed the fascist empire of Japan and Hitler’s fascist empire in Europe. After the war, Britain disbanded its empire and turned over the role of policing the free world to the United States. The Soviet Union, on the strength of its heroic struggle and victory over Hitler’s armies, gained power by control or by alliances over Bulgaria, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland and Romania. For half a century after the war, two unions of states, the United States and the Soviet Union, penetrated nation-states worldwide without respecting nation-state borders and tried to set up in foreign states either a communistic or capitalistic system. The United States won the Cold War because the middle-class capitalistic economy it championed for states worldwide had been thriving and developing successfully in America and Europe for nearly a thousand years. The United States, with fully sovereign military and diplomatic powers, created a union of free democratic capitalistic nation-states worldwide united economically by trade and globalization and united politically with Washington by alliances and continual diplomatic and military influence. Now at the beginning of the twenty-first century, nation-states throughout the world may not dare to petition the American Congress and to join us as member states of our American union but let them not dare to deny that they have been from the end of the Second World War and are now members of the American union without the legal right to send representatives to the Congress in Washington to govern it.
