You asked
In reading history, is there any place on Earth (outside of the USofA) where the Jew has prospered and assimilated? . They have prospered virtually everywhere they were; this caused resentment against them. In the 20th century, they also assimilated. I.e. the German Jews had assimilated very successfully, were secular in most ways and part of Germany, so they thought, serving in WWI in the Kaiser's army, etc. Little did they suspect that they could NEVER be considered German by the majority, no matter how assimlated they were, how little they did to identify with Jewish culture, how much they waved the German flag.
So what you really seem to be asking is where have they not been resented for their success?

The Jews had lived in Germany for almost 1000 years. Even in the camps they would be heard muttering that they are not OSTJUDEN, Jews from the East. They really believed that being so fully integrated in German society that they would be protected. In many ways they were more German than the Germans. Even when Jews converted to Christianity they were still on the rolls as Jews.
Jew hatred will exist as long as there are Jews. Until Moshiach comes, we Jews will be hated by some segment of world society. The comfort of the Jewish people is that while we have been oppressed and attacked we are still here and will remain so. Am Yisroel Chaim! As it says in the Passover Hagaddah- in each and every generation they rise up against us to utterly destroy us, but the Holy One blessed be He rescues us from their hands. Our existence is a testimony to His miracles. May we merit to usher in the era of Moshiach NOW!
