Topics on Bergonian Culture

These topics deal with Pre-Columbian Bergonian culture (pre-1496).  Taken together, they delineate something of the unique character of both ancient and contemporary Bergonian civilization.  

The plagues (1550-1650) and the subsequent European colonization (including the coming of Christianity) drastically wounded this civilization, but after two centuries it rejuvenated, though radically changed, and in the last 250 years indigenous Bergonian culture has synthesized well with European culture.  This synthesis has predisposed Bergonia to the development of a uniquely socialist-syndicalist culture in the last seventy years, which is discussed elsewhere. 

One cannot fully understand contemporary Bergonia without appreciating its pre-colonial antecedents.  Of course we have to say the same thing about Mexico and Peru, and something similar about China, Japan and in varying degrees about virtually every third world country that experienced European colonization and imperialism.
