The history of the Rothschilds is an amazing saga. Before the family there was no "banking" as we know it. From a Frankfurt ghetto Amschel Rothschild began his rise by collecting old coins and selling many to a German Prince. He worked for decades to develop a relationship with the Prince so he could make money helping him with financial needs. It happened finally and the four male offspring of Amschel followed their father and began to finance everything from Napoleon to Wellington! Some of the boys were brilliant others just willing to work but the father's demands that they always be together was a key feature in the rise of the House of Rothschild. Eventually there were Rothschild banks in London, Paris. Italy, and Vienna as the young men moved to the most influential cities in Europe and learned how to do business in the world.The Family was involved in the early government debt trading and later stock markets. They made pots of money in many ways including owning railroads. All was accomplished despite the virulent anti-Semitism that was common in Europe. One of the most remarkable feats was the raising of a large amount of money for Great Britain to buy the controlling interest in the Suez Canal from the Egyptian ruler who was short of cash. The Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli learned the Egyptian ruler might be willing to sell his shares so he called on Lord Rothschild presented the issue and that the money (a vast sum) was needed quickly. Lord R. replied "it shall be done." Within two weeks the money was found including three million pounds from the Bank of France even though the French owned the remaining Suez shares! Disraeli presented to Queen Victoria the control of Suez to her delight.
