Historian Arnold Joseph Toynbee died OCTOBER 2, 1975.

He provided foreign intelligence for the British during World Wars I and II, and served as a delegate to the Paris Peace Conferences following both wars.

Arnold Joseph Toynbee was educated at Oxford "almost entirely in the Greek and Latin Classics."

Toynbee taught at King's College of London, the London School of Economics, and the Royal Institute of International Affairs.

Toynbee authored many history books, including Greek Policy Since 1882 (1914), and The Murderous Tyranny Of The Turks (London, New York: Hodder & Stoughton, 1917), in which he wrote:

Toynbee explained:

"The Greeks were leaders of civilization in the Ancient World and in the Middle Ages, till the Greek Empire of Constantinople was conquered by the Turks in 1453 ...

The Armenians were the first people to make Christianity their national religion ... They produced a fine literature and architecture, which Turkish conquest destroyed ...

Turks have repressed all symptoms of Armenian revival by massacres ..."

"There are three stages in the history of Ottoman tyranny ...

Osman, its founder, from whom the Osmanli Turks take their name, was the hereditary chief

A sick, perverse policy, courtesy of Obama, Clinton and Bush, Brennan, McCain and the Fed.gov deep state. They gave the world the largest refugee flow in Europe since WWII, ISIS, and the near death of Christianity in the place where it was born.
