yes that happened and that's apart of it. but that's not how they made their wealth, that was just one good scam day of profit taking.
In 1795 Mayer's taxable income was 4,000 gulden. A year later, it was 60,000 gulden. In 1808 it was 500,000 pounds. By 1818 it was 4,330,333 pounds.
For centuries nobody cared about inequality. Then suddenly there was a stirring amongst the low iq bolshevik retards to take down the wealthy elite. After doing so, a new elite promptly replaced the old, almost as if the wealth had directly traded hands, and this new elite flaunted their wealth exactly as the former class did.. but apparently the people no longer cared, because nobody told them to. This same strategy of riling up mindless morons has been used ever since, and to this day these morons still haven't figured out that they are helping an alien elite who hate them attack their own elites, but now those elites are almost all gone so they just use them to attack all white people.
But hell, they even fooled the protestant aristocracy into helping them. By playing the friendly jew at their court, whilst using secret societies to rile the people up to attack catholic europe, they played both sides to their advantage. Then when Napoleon emerged out of nowhere, they played him too, offering him money for the war, whilst simultaneously offering the same to his enemies. At this point they could not lose.
"The French Revolution in 1789 brought positive changes for French Jews, resulting in their full emancipation in 1791. In 1806, Napoleon I ordered the convening of a "Grand Sanhedrin" in Paris and in 1808 he organized the "Consistoire central des Israélites de France", the administrative agency for all French Jews. The consistorial system made Judaism a recognized religion and placed it under government control. This Consistoire has been a functioning body ever since, except under the Nazi occupation of France during World War II. By tradition, the Central Consistoire has had a member of the Rothschild family as its President."
Possibly the world's biggest dupe, the extremely wealthy Prince William of Hesse had the Rothschilds as his court Jew, and they played him with the friendly Jew act. Meanwhile they helped Napoleon conquer him so that said Prince had to flee to Denmark, and then convinced said Prince to give all of his wealth to the Rothschilds so that they could pay for English troops to help reconquer his lands back for him.
Nathan Rothschild came up with the ingenious banking strategy of lending to governments during wartime and having the winner cover the loser's debt (like the treaty of versailles) . Nathan used this tactic to fund Wellington's army in 1814 and it is the main reason for the enormous growth of the family's wealth in what turned out to be nearly 150 years of constant warfare.
"For most of the nineteenth century, NM Rothschild was a branch of the largest bank in the world and dominated the international bond market. To get a contemporary idea of the size and influence of the Rothschild family, there would have to be a merger between Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and the International Monetary Fund to even approach the size and influence of the money Rothschild owned banks controlled. Their control also had a stabilizing role on the finances of many governments." (apparently this much wealth inequality was suddenly no issue)
"World War I provided new business opportunities for the family, but the empire was hit hard by the financial crisis of 1929, particularly in Vienna. The family's holdings in Austria were brought under Nazi control in the late 1930s. The Rothschild Family's interests recovered by the 1960s and they began working on expansion to the United States." (truly amazing how all the troubles in the west began in the 60s.. extraordinary coincedence).
