and Democrat Party politics in America. In a relatively short<br />
period of time <strong>the</strong> Rothschilds were able to bring all of Europe<br />
into <strong>the</strong>ir orbit and under <strong>the</strong>ir influence. They bought officials<br />
and made friends with <strong>the</strong> monarchs and princes of Europe, all<br />
<strong>the</strong> while ensuring that no outsiders came into <strong>the</strong> family. When<br />
one of <strong>the</strong> daughters began a "love relationship," it was ruthlessly<br />
crushed. She was told that <strong>the</strong> bro<strong>the</strong>rs regarded marriage as a<br />
business affair and that <strong>the</strong>y would arrange marriages for<br />
partnerships.<br />
It took only a generation of planning, intriguing and<br />
manipulation of public opinion to make <strong>the</strong> Rothschilds <strong>the</strong><br />
greatest force and influence, not in only <strong>the</strong> affairs of Europe, but<br />
also in <strong>the</strong> Far East and later <strong>the</strong> United States. Intermarriages<br />
welded <strong>the</strong> family into a cohesive, solid front. By 1815, Austria<br />
led <strong>the</strong> way by granting <strong>the</strong> five bro<strong>the</strong>rs hereditary titles, "baron"<br />
with land ownership to go with it. Their meteoric rise to fame,<br />
fortune and power was astonishing to behold. They never made<br />
any decision or moves without close consultation with <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
"communication agent" and "inside information source," <strong>the</strong> Von<br />
Thurn and Taxis.<br />
If positions of political power could not be realized, <strong>the</strong>y<br />
were bought. Mayer Amschel in charge of Frankfurt, for instance,<br />
bought a seat on <strong>the</strong> Prussian Privy Council of Commerce. This<br />
was a position that in <strong>the</strong> past was open only to royalty, and his<br />
success shook <strong>the</strong> Prussian aristocracy, causing much alarm and<br />
consternation.<br />
Following <strong>the</strong> restoration of <strong>the</strong> Bourbons (in which <strong>the</strong><br />
Rothschilds played no small part), <strong>the</strong> youngest of <strong>the</strong> bro<strong>the</strong>rs,<br />
James (Jacob) was given a charter to establish a branch of <strong>the</strong><br />
Rothschild bank in Paris.<br />
Quick to realize <strong>the</strong> importance of railroads, James<br />
financed many of <strong>the</strong> new lines and made a huge fortune. He lent<br />
<strong>the</strong> Bourbons, always profligate spenders, millions of francs.<br />
Nathan was <strong>the</strong> genius of <strong>the</strong> five bro<strong>the</strong>rs. Third in line he was<br />
<strong>the</strong> one <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs turned to for guidance. When
