They were not all wealthy, want to take another shot at it, Sport?
In addition, they were already in immediate control of significant military resourses. We can bicker back and forth all you like in this respect but your assumptions continue to be completely wrong.

Your command of history and willingness to continue to assert asinine half-baked thoughts as fact is laughable. You are a fool, and demonstrate it further with every post you make.
