"The pen is mightier than the sword"

Look at the USofE and thats no typo.
Twice they tried to unify Europe by the sword and twice they failed.
Now they are doing so by the pen, its a much more dangerous foe.

Only twice ?

My only disagreement with you is that I'd put the number of times someone has tried to conquer Europe by the sword as higher than two by a factor of at least ten.

Two would be the number of occasions someone has actually managed something close for a decade or longer.
