Did I just get flamed? Because in that case, you're quite presumptive.
Let's put it this way...grudges don't exactly drop, especially in instances like this. For instance, from what the US did in Korea, such as the spread of the defoliant known as Agent Orange, is still reviled today. Although Koreans(SK) are our allies, many of the actions we took during those wars are still reviled. It's been nearly 40 years, and doesn't have much of a chance of stopping.
Another example...the Iranians and Iraqis have had a grudge that extends for hundreds of years.
Grudges, especially those between factions/nations, don't exactly disappear that quickly. The economy of Rheinland hasn't exactly been that great over the past 100 years, especially if you compound it with recent events. Like I said before...
Quote:History is dictated by the winners, interpreted by the losers.
The Bundies are simply excercising their right to interpret the history of the matter in a skewed way. Who better than the GMG to blame over 100 years of misfortune for Rheinland?
And another thing...The GMG doesn't exactly like Rheinlanders either. Bundies=Socialist Rheinlanders.

Fully agreed. If I see a GMG when I head to S-13 to beat up diamond people, they get shot for being responsible for the horrific treatment of workers due to war reparations and whatnot.
Umm no I still don't understand that. Bundies as academics have an active interest in politics. The socialists in Germany before the Nazi rise to power knew what was up with the government and how WW1 and the imperial aspirations brought about the fall of their nation. Now the point I make here is that Bundies are not Xenos, they are led and financed by (if not almost entirely comprised of) a powerful intellectual elite who by far know their stuff. They aren't intellectual if they forbid to take in the truth!
The Bundschuh are either intellectuals or fanatics, they can't be both it has to be decided on. One is the opposite of the other and all that stuff. You either go with them being like Xenos, being hypernationalist moreso than the ruling party which is why they are unlawful, or they are intellectuals with a view on whats going on trying to educate the people and force some action through against the government which is the reason why they are outlawed. It's one of the two, people, not both.
History is just one argument though. Another is that GMG essentially let in Rheinland to S-13 after the war with the exception of military operations and the Kruger corporation. On the other hand no GMG vessels (trading or otherwise) are allowed in Rheinland at all. It is fairly obvious to see who's slowly giving up here. Again, if Bundies were Xenos it would be perfectly acceptable for them to attack GMG either way, but Xenos they aren't. This should be taken into account in my opinion.

err by whom? the Bundschuh? The GMG are nothing but poor worker bastards them selfs who got exploited all the way. Bet they can't even be happy about the outcome of the war.
As I stated, BU simply shouldn't care.
1. We have no rumors backing up anything between BU and GMG
2. To stay with elgatos example: if there would be a socialist party prohibited in south korea, then the only thing they care about is their current, local situation. They would care even less about Americans, as after 100 years, not them or their parents would be affected by the past war anymore but their grand and great-grand parents. Even if they had the American embassy around the block, they would rather be interested in a strategic alliance (although the US are a rather bad parter for such political points of views heh)
They already have enough enemies to the inside. Why should they make more to the outside?
