The story of a serial killer in Britain
There, an innocent child was born to devout Christian parents. His name was
Peter Sutcliffe. But this innocence never found its way into his heart, for he
was raised in a harsh childhood devoid of mercy and warmth
Peter suffered severe bullying at school, from classmates and even teachers. At
home, he endured an unbearable hell
His father was a drunkard who never left his bottle, often beating and cursing
his mother without compassion or awareness — and sometimes doing so right in
front of the children’s eyes
Amid this hell, Peter decided to drop out of school at the age of fifteen,
beginning a long, arduous journey through the labor market
He moved from job to job, but the one he strangely loved most was working as a grave
digger
He later said: “It was the best job I ever had.” As if the scent of death had
begun seeping into his blood without him realizing it
But the true shift in his personality began after a shocking incident
He witnessed a violent quarrel between his parents after his father discovered
that his mother — whom Peter had always seen as a pure angel — had cheated on
him
Something broke inside him. The image of the perfect mother shattered forever
From that moment, he started down a dark path
He began frequenting brothels daily, stealing or wasting all his money just to
feed the habit
Yet fate willed that he fall in love and marry a woman he sincerely loved,
living a seemingly stable married life
But the stability didn’t last long
He later discovered that his wife had a congenital defect that rendered her
unable to conceive
Though this might drive anyone to anger or separation, Peter accepted the truth
calmly and even tried to make her happier than before
But fate was not kind to him
One night, he returned home to find his wife cheating on him with an ice cream
vendor — in their own bed
Peter left the house shattered, dragging his disappointment behind him,
returning once more to his dark habits — but this time, he wasn’t the same
One night, he paid a prostitute, but she tricked him and ran away before he
could get what he wanted
Worse still, she began mocking him publicly at a bar
He felt humiliated and crushed, returning home depressed, isolated… and there,
a decision was born inside him — a decision to take revenge… a decision to
become a serial killer
His killing spree began in 1975, when he met a woman named Wilma
After their encounter, he didn’t have the money to pay her, so he asked her to
wait a bit. She refused, and a quarrel broke out
He pulled out a hammer and struck her on the head with force. Then he drew a
knife and stabbed her violently — stab after stab — until they totaled 51
stabs
He disposed of her body, and the police couldn’t identify him… and he liked
that
From there, he began transforming into a merciless monster
He killed about 13 women using the same method until he was finally arrested in
January 1981. He confessed to all his crimes without any remorse
But wait
We’re late for our next journey
We must leave Britain now and head toward France
We’ll return to Britain later — for the secrets there aren’t over yet
From France to Algeria: When History Becomes an Open Wound
.jfif)
Let us go back in time to the year 1830, when France decided to occupy Algeria
The reason behind this decision might sound like a joke — one even children wouldn’t believe
In 1827, the Ottoman governor of Algeria at the time, “Dey Hussein,” slapped the French consul “Pierre Deval” three times using a hand fan
What exactly happened
France had borrowed money from Algeria to fund Napoleon’s war campaigns. When Algeria demanded repayment, the French consul responded with mockery and refusal — prompting Dey Hussein to strike him, a scene filled with diplomatic humiliation that France could not tolerate.
Could a country like France accept such humiliation before the eyes of Europe
Of course not
So, it launched a military campaign and indeed occupied Algeria in 1830
The Ottoman ruler “Dey Hussein” was then exiled to Alexandria, Egypt
But did the story end there? Did the Algerian people submit and accept the new reality
Certainly not
From the moment of occupation until independence in 1962, the Algerian people never stopped resisting
During this period, France committed horrific massacres in Algeria that defy imagination
Among them was the massacre of the Ouled Riah tribe near the Algerian capital, where the entire tribe — including women and children — was slaughtered, with the death toll reaching 12,000 Algerians
In the Dahra mountains, French General "Pélissier" burned caves full of women and children, causing them to die from asphyxiation and fire. This crime became known as the “Beni S’bih Massacre.”
More than one million Algerians were killed during the occupation, earning Algeria the title of "the country of one and a half million martyrs."
France even went so far as to decapitate Algerian resistance fighters, preserve their heads in chemical solutions, and send them to Paris
In the Museum of Man in the French capital, 36 Algerian skulls were displayed — as so-called “proof” of European racial superiority
Some might argue that this was the act of the government, not the French people
Perhaps… So let’s go to the heart of France to see how Algerians were treated in Paris itself
The reason behind this decision might sound like a joke — one even children wouldn’t believe

Perhaps… So let’s go to the heart of France to see how Algerians were treated in Paris itself
Paris 1961: When the Seine River Became a Mass Grave
In the 1950s, many Algerians migrated to France in search of a better life, only to face a harsh reality of racism, poverty, and marginalizationThey were housed in slums and primitive tin shacks, which became known as “shanty towns.”
French police treated Algerians with extreme brutality, especially as their struggle for liberation intensified
On October 17, 1961, over 30,000 Algerian immigrants marched peacefully through the French capital, Paris, protesting President Charles de Gaulle’s decision to impose a 7 p.m. curfew on Algerians
Despite the peaceful nature of the demonstration, French police responded with live bullets, killing many protesters and throwing their bodies into the Seine River
Days later, more than 110 bodies floated to the surface of the river — and no official reaction came from within or outside France condemning what happened
French commander "Pierre Papon" stated at the time:
“Sometimes, to spread civilization, we must commit uncivilized acts.”
From Algeria to Egypt: The True Face of Napoleon’s Campaign
Let’s now move to another country — Egypt — to witness another face of French colonialismIn 1798, Napoleon Bonaparte landed in Alexandria. Egypt was then under Mamluk rule
On July 21 of the same year, Napoleon won the “Battle of Imbaba,” not the “Battle of the Pyramids” as France claimed.
The battle didn’t take place at the pyramids but in Imbaba — 10 to 20 kilometers away — yet Napoleon deliberately lied to impress his people
He claimed he came to Egypt to spread knowledge and liberate it from ignorance. He even tried to win over Muslims by establishing councils run by Al-Azhar scholars, participating in Islamic events, and founding a scientific institute in Cairo
But in truth, Napoleon’s goal was to cut Britain’s communication with its colonies in India — and Egypt was merely a strategic stepping stone
He sent two of his generals to spy on the councils and document information about Egyptians that could later be used against them
Once Napoleon suffered defeat at the Battle of Aboukir Bay, he imposed heavy taxes on Egyptians — sparking outrage among scholars and Al-Azhar sheikhs
Cairenes staged a peaceful protest, and the French army was temporarily defeated and forced to withdraw
Upon hearing this, Napoleon besieged the city and bombarded it for hours — especially the Al-Azhar area
His soldiers stormed Al-Azhar mosque on horseback and with boots, tore up its books, violated the sanctity of the mosque — and some say they urinated on its walls
After quelling the uprising, more than a hundred people were executed — one of the most brutal crackdowns Cairo had ever witnessed
As for the “scientific institute” Napoleon established — it wasn’t to educate Egyptians but served two goals
1. To boast of civilization and knowledge before Egyptians
2. To loot and steal Egyptian antiquities
When the French occupation ended, they burned the factories and facilities they had built to prevent Egyptians from benefiting from them — leaving the country empty of everything
Conclusion: Not Civilization... But Colonialism in the Cloak of Progress
What happened in Algeria and Egypt wasn’t an exception — it was a repeated pattern in most European colonial movements.Colonialism wore the cloak of “civilization and enlightenment,” while in truth it was theft, oppression, discrimination, and systematic extermination.
Let’s not forget — just two centuries ago, Europe itself was drowning in the darkness of the Middle Ages, ruled by ignorance and tyranny.
All the colonizers did was export their hell to the lands of other continents — and then sell the world a fake image of “civilization.”
The plague took over Asia because of Britain
Britain! What are you doing here?!
Let’s dive into the heart of India and understand what exactly happened. Goodbye, France — we’ll see you later.
If we go back to the year 1600, we’ll find that India was the only country in the world producing spices — the whole world craved them.
India, in all its pride, traded only with the Dutch and no one else in Europe.
But human greed knows no bounds... The Dutch suddenly decided to double the price of spices for Britain.
That’s when a group of British merchants came together, raised a large capital, and sought the Queen’s approval to establish a commercial center in Asia.
Queen Elizabeth I granted them permission to establish a company with exclusive trading rights in Asia.
Thus began the story of the British East India Company — a name that would be etched into history with the blood of many nations.
The problem began when the British discovered that the East Indies (Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines) only dealt in silver — not gold or pounds sterling.
This left the merchants puzzled: How would they buy the spices then?
Until they discovered that those islands valued just three things: Indian products, opium, and silver.
That’s when a diabolical idea was born: to establish a colony in India itself — and from there, begin trade operations.
At first, the colony was just a few British homes protected by walls and some weapons. The Indian emperor agreed, viewing Britain as a small, weak island incapable of challenging the great Indian army.
But gradually… greed grew, colonies spread along the Indian coast, reaching 23 by 1640.
Profits skyrocketed to the point where the company’s name was on every British tongue.
As profits increased, the company began ignoring taxes and defying imperial laws. When the emperor imposed new taxes, the company refused to pay — and the first war broke out between the Indians and the British company.
600 soldiers, 10 warships, 120 cannons — all attacked an Indian village. But the Indian armies shocked them with a fiery response, defeating them and forcing the company to sign a humiliating surrender agreement and pay huge fines.

Then, luck fell from the sky. In 1707, the Indian emperor died, civil wars broke out, and the empire weakened.
To make matters worse, the Iranian emperor “Nader Shah” launched a war against India, ending in catastrophic defeat. Emperor Muhammad Shah had to surrender and beg for peace.
India’s wealth was completely looted — valued today at 87 million Indian rupees!
The loot was so vast that Nader Shah canceled taxes in his country for three whole years from what he’d stolen from India!
From there, no real empire remained. The country splintered into provinces, each with its own ruler.
India became a battlefield between European powers, especially during the Seven Years’ War in 1756.
The British company seized the opportunity — increased its soldiers, armed them with advanced weapons, imported secret support from Britain, and began fighting France under the pretext of “protecting its colonies.”
Indian emperor Siraj ud-Daulah ordered an end to this farce, but they ignored him. So, he gathered his army and attacked them — and won.
He detained 140 British employees in a cramped cell, and they all died from suffocation… and thus, the real war ignited!
With superior weapons, technology, and British support, India was completely crushed — massacres, humiliation, plunder.
Indian industries were destroyed, and farmers were forced to grow opium exclusively — exported to China in a systematic effort to ruin nations.
Indeed... India was entirely occupied — not by a state, but by a commercial company turned into a monstrous colonial power.
The once mighty empire became nothing but a plantation for a British company!
And now... we leave behind this wreckage and move on from Europe — toward the dark continent… Africa. In Part Three.
