Bavaria and Austria-Hungary II: Palatine and Pennsylvania Dutch

Palatine as Origin of Palestine

In our modern time, Jewish in Israel has been fighting against Palestinians continuously. However, the origin of "Palestine refugees" is still unclear. They are accredited as refugees by UNRWA and UNHCR, so, it is likely that the original Palestine refugees were a part of war criminals of WWI and II. However, as I wrote in the past article, the origin of such refugees are written as "unknown" in the official data of UNHCR.

Occasionally, I found the name "Palatine" in the modern Germany when I investigated about the realm of Holy roman Empire and the Kingdom of Bavaria. In German language, "Paladin" means loyalist or monarchist. "Palace" in English is "Palais, Palast, Palas or Pfalz" in German. In fact, the region Palatine is called Pfalz in German. So, it is likely to be the city of loyalists. There are at leas two areas with the term Pfalz. The one is the province, Rheinland-Pfalz. And the other Palatine is a district within Bavaria called "Oberpfalz". Pfalz was also the capital city of the Hole Roman Empire.

The Palatinate (/pəˈlætɪnɪt/; German: Pfalz; Palatine German: Palz), or the Rhenish Palatinate (Rheinpfalz), is a historical region of Germany. The Palatinate occupies most of the southern quarter of the German federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate (Rheinland-Pfalz), covering an area of 2,105 square miles (5,450 km2) with about 1.4 million inhabitants. Its residents are known as Palatines (Pfälzer).

Obviously, it is very similar to the area of the past Kingdom of Bavaria, and the canal project area to connect Danube and Rhine River.

Pennsylvania Dutch (Deutsche)

In the 16th century, the Lutheran Reformation (1517-) tried to solve the corruption of Christian church. Luther criticized the indulgence culture of the Christian church, which released prisoners by money. So, a certain part of Christian church wanted to destroy Lutheran faction. In such time, Mennonite (one part of Anabaptists) Christianity (1527? -) and Jesuit (1534-) emerged. Assumingly, they were formed to kill the Lutheran faction. Many of them were "persecuted" by Lutherans and French monarchy and moved to other countries. The places which they moved to are quite similar to the irrigation project area.

First, they moved to UK, and then spread to Ireland and US. A large part of Mennonite (more than 100, 000 people) moved to US (especially, Pennsylvania) in the 17th -19th century, and such people are called "Pennsylvania Dutch". The ancestries of Herbert Hoover and Eisenhower were also Pennsylvania Dutch.

Seemingly, this faction also participated in the US Independence War (1775-) and the US Civil War (1861-). They may have cooperated with anti-independence faction in the US Independence War because they are "loyalists". And they joined in the Union army (North Army) in the Civil War to introduce the industrialization.

There are some cities called "Palatine" in the US, such as Palatine in Illinois and Palatine in NY. Also, one Christian priest moved from Palatine of Illinois to Texas, and he named a city "Palestine" in Texas. So, it has become clear that the term "Palestine" shares its roots with Palatine. The vowel could have be changed like Palatine- Palaistine - Palestine. Also, the state of Maryland was historically called "Maryland Pfalz" during the British (?) colony era. It became Maryland and Washington D.C. after their independence. But still, "D.C." means the District of Columbia. So, US have been colonized by the anti-Lutheran faction (Mennonite Christians = Holy Roman Empire or Kingdom of Bavaria = Nazis, and Jesuit). Assumingly, US Independence War was a battle against such Christian colonists in the East. But the Nazis side committed the reconquista by the industrial revolution during the Civil War.

Pennsylvania Dutch during WWI & II

Such Pennsylvania Dutch (or Pennsylvania Germans) and Mennonite Christians were largely persecuted during WWI and WWI. This is why Hoover (Pennsylvania German origin) formed the CRB and ARA kind of refugee organizations to help people including the Pennsylvania Dutch.

In Russia, Mennonites were also one of the major target of the political purge by the Russian Revolutionists. Many of them cooperated with Nazi Germany and they were sent to the forced labor camps in Siberia, Kazakhstan etc. Perhaps, they are the origin of the Soviet Spaceship project because Kazakhstan has the spaceship port.

In addition, the original area of Mennonite Christians are the same as Friesland the area of Frisians. The origin of "Armenians" is said to be "Phrygian Greeks" which has quite similar sounds to Frisians. Perhaps, the "Armenian refugees" are the same as "Frisian refugees" (Mennonite Christian refugees). Then, the target of the "Armenian genocide" by Ottoman Young Turks was also Armenians = Frisians = Mennonite Christians.
