Talk:Fire Nation/@comment-98.16.210.209-20110615015101

The Fire Nation appears to be its world's equivalent of Western Europe during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Steam engines, heavy machinery, coal, primitive tanks, and other vehicles are similar to what the West had. Furthermore, the Fire Nation had embarked upon a campaign to civilize the savage and improve the world. Its justification, although simpistic, was to "share its wealth with the world." I doubt that that was the real reason, but it was enough to fool the ignorant masses into waging war for the benefit of all.
