Abstract

Meyer Amschel Rothschild was the founding father of an originally Jewish-German banking dynasty with five sons networking from major European cities, with the workaholic Nathan in London perhaps being the most influential one. The virtually untouchable brothers circulated as a global financial empire money across borders to states and corporations in the Napoleonic period. The Rothschilds were e.g., forceful during the French-British Suez Canal Incident of 1852, but failed to become strong in the United States of America.
