Indo-German Identification
The big idea is there were two main streams in Europe: Latinification and Germanism.
Latinification as it was already normatized by Judeo-Christian ideas had the early lead and did not question the Bibilial account for they benefiteed from it.
The Germanism was reaction to the Latinised monoploy and sought to assert itself. The first concrete step was the Holy Roman Empire which was Germanic. This is approximately 9 centuries after Rome conquered the Goths who are Germanic. Later it launched Protestant movement which led to Church Reformation. The English who are really Latinised derivatives managed to colonise ahead of the Germanic landlubbers and confined them to the continent. The war of 1760 saw the rise of Prussia, Russia as continental powers.
The events of WWI and WWII are part of the Germanic breakout of the older Latinised/Roman imperial order.
