In 455, the Vandals sacked the Eternal City of Rome, pillaging it for two whole weeks, giving rise to a new noun in the vernacular dictionary, and proving that the Roman people's superstitious belief that what had been in the past was the way things would forever be was not such a good idea.
In 1692, Bridget Bishop was convicted by the Salem Court of witchcraft, proving that the Salem people's superstitious belief that what had been in the past was the way things would forever be was not such a good idea.
In 1953, Elizabeth Battenburg was crowned Elizabeth II Regina, proving that the UK's people's superstitious belief that what had been in the past was the way things would forever be was not such a good idea.

I don't know who this Elizabeth Battenburg is, the Queen's name is Elizabeth Windsor, she did not take the name of her husband Phillip Mountbatten. Obviously your knowledge of the monarchy is quite limited.

I live in Canada and like most Canadians I don't want to move to the USA, even though I have had ample opportunity to do so. We do things differently in Canada and in the UK. We think our way is better and judging by the current state of affairs in the USA, I'd say we were right.
