Европейското развитие - от световно превъзходство до второстепенност в световната политика
European historical development - from the world supremacy to the secondary importance in the world policy

Summary/Abstract: In the present article the author emphasizes the thesis that the methods of the historical analysis are not sufficient to be explained the past, because there is no history without psychology and there is no psychology without history. From that point of view, the author proposes an interdisciplinary explanation about the European history, which combine the historical with psychological and philosophical analysis. The Author tries to explain the destructive moments in the European history by means of the archetype “shadow”, which Carl Gustav Jung uses like а part of his theory for the collective unconscious. In the analyses are used and some of Sigmund Freud’s opinions for the violence at the Human nature. On the base of the interdisciplinary analysis the author tries to explain the coexistence of creative and destructive principles in the course of the development of European society. The main objective is to be outlined the psychology of European social and / or of European political development in historical plan. Also, the author tries to show how the European psychology changes itself over the time and brings an influence upon the historical development. This interdisciplinary method of analysis allows the possibility to be shown and the reverse side: it means how the historical development influences upon the social psychology. In historical plan the author makes two important conclusions: the conditions and circumstances within the modern period (16th century-20th century) form a group of very wealthy people who have an influence with politics and by this means they guided the processes in it. The importance and the influence of that people shouldn’t be underestimate or overestimate, but in any case their role must be take into account. The second conclusion is that the modern period (16th century-20th century) created by West European provides the domination of the countries in that part of old continent over the rest of the World. But, also, at the same time the modern period created the reasons for the self-destruction of West and whole Europe because of ambition for power and enrichment. This ambition leads to the two world wars. After the second world war Europe have secondary position at the world politics.
