Answer :

answer:Which one? The one in which Holland ruled the waves and considered the world it’s orchard? Or the one in which citizens shoot each other? Or the one that made military boots march through Europe? This world can do without patriotism, I feel. We live in one world and we influence each other far beyond national bounderies.
