Who are the native-Europeans, the Indians of Europe, one may ask?! In comparison with the native-Americans, whose destiny was quite miserable, but as history (at least the written one) is always compiled by the winners, thus nobody really cares about the Big Bloodshed that was carried out in the Americas some centuries ago. And why care, after all as the result was USA, the strongest muscle in the world?!
Yeb, the native-Europeans are, supposedly, the Basks and Celts (or Gauls), who inhabited the central and southern part of present-day Europe, and Fenno-Ugrians, who lived in the northern parts, before The Great (im)Migration, that brought Germanic and Slav tribes to Europe, those bare-butts, who originally lived somewhere in the present-day India, and who were pushed west by the Hunns, or Mongolians. Germans first conquered southern Europe, the old civilizations of Greece and Rome, were introduced to clothes and other modern technology, e.g. Christianity and the art of war, made an agreement with Pope (or established their own?!) and moved forward to the North. Thus enslaving the native-Europeans of the North, Livs, Finns and Estonians for about 700 years.
And one of the native tribes, a tiny one, of less than 1 million, the Estonians, has survived all those slaughters and fought itself free after 700 years of enslavement! Isn't that quite a big achievement?! And Estonia is one of the few countries in Europe that is governed by native tribes, besides Finland, Ireland, and to some extent, France and Spain.
