An interesting series and novels. After many generations within the colonies , the Martians were us, once.
But not anymore, they were not born on the earth. The Martians supported interplanetary free commerce.
And protected it from the oppressive government of the earth. Mars was terraformed successfully,
and no longer in much need the earth.
Where the earth needed Mars, and access to the asteroid belt which Mars laid claim to. Mars became the
Solar system cops. Seeing the earth as ileagaly boarding commercial vessels, calling the earth pirates.
Guess who won the war? Mars as a free government with its own constitution similar to what we have
now. Or the elite earth dictatorship caused by what we now call globalism.
