Old World Confronts New World: Europe is Faced with Reminders of its Primitive Past

The old world faces the new world: the conflict with the primitive past of Europe is the essence of cultural conflict between the old world and the new world culture greatly influenced by the conditions of Christian Europe in the 15th century It reminds me. Recent scholarships prove the similarity between the new world and the pagans of the old world (1), the reaction of Europeans to the indigenous American culture of the 15th century is the subconscious of this cultural similarity It raises the question of whether it was affected or not. .

In the West, the term old world is used to refer to Asia, Africa and Europe. In general, the old world is a part of the world citizen knows before they contact Americans. On the other hand, the new world refers to the Americas including North America, South America, Central America. Old world is totally opposite to the new world. Florentine explorer Amerigo Vespucci has made the word New World (Mundus Novus). He quoted the word in a letter written to his friend Loriento di Pia in the spring of 1503. In his letter he insisted that the land found by a European navigator was not like the edge of Asia as Christopher Columbus said. Instead, they belong to a completely different continent, the "New World". Another explorer, Italian-born Peter Martyr, will support the background of the new world. When I found the continent in 1511, he translated the word "Orbe Novo" to "New Earth".

The ancient myths of Central Europe will remind us that the Ottoman Empire, and recently Turkey, are primarily transitory space, a Christian world facing the Muslim world. There is no doubt that the nationalistic tendencies of the 19th and 20th centuries (and the nationalistic trends emerging in the 21st century) have awakened the myths of the east wall as European guardians. Prime Minister Alban of Hungary did not miss the opportunity to revive the victory of 1686 when the Hungarians kicked out the enemies of the Ottoman Empire from Europe.

Fortunately, the world has experienced the Cold War and the confrontation between the US and the Soviet Union has not increased rapidly. The majority of it comes from the continued participation of the United States in Europe after World War II, the launch of NATO, and the support of the development of the EU. These actions helped maintain peace and stability in Europe for 70 years. The wrong handling of the President of the NATO Conference in Brussels on 25 May was surprising, especially as he made a mistake that was not enforced. Most strikingly, he refused to publicly reconfirm Article 5, the core of the 1949 NATO treaty agreed by the allies. "Armed attacks on one or more of them will be deemed to them. The government, including Mr. Trump, who served on the National Security Adviser and the National Economic Council on the Wall Street Journal on 30 May High officials tried to affirm US commitment to Article 5, but only partially compensated the president 's public silence.
