      Ah, yes, BTW, people are talking as if immigration doesn’t exist.

      Once upon a time a certain Eastern Roman Empire was dealt the final blow by Ottoman Turks, and its former inhabitants possessing very valuable competencies and knowledge would be plentiful in South Europe.

      Perhaps had that not happened, Europeans would get to the “colonizing the new world” activity a couple of centuries later.
