I appreciate that. World war I is such a big topic, it is difficult not to be overwhelmed by the total volume of available data. I would appreciate sharing your knowledge here, to expand my own. Thanks in advance. I think we can all profit from a better grasp about World War I to be able to learn from the very tragic events of the past. |

We all studied World War I in high school and it was basically all about Blitzkrieg and Trench Warfare. Didn't learn any "lessons". And of course, it was all about Patriotism and how Canada became a "Nation" as a result of the war. The only other topic we studied is the conscription crisis and how it divided French/English Canada. What did you Americans study in school about World War l? |

Let us not repeat the same mistake and destroy the entire world the way it was destroyed between 1914 and 1919. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 52168105 The only difference between then and now is the changing face of warfare. The conclusion of World War II saw the the emergence of the Cold War, and while the tendency to think that a hot war and a cold war are different, all conflict which is decided without diplomacy ultimately escalates to the point of total destruction. In 1914, total destruction was limited by technological limitations. Today, there is no technological limitation to the total destruction of the world and if we fail to end the current Cold War through diplomatic agreement, it is only a matter of time before somebody pulls the nuclear trigger out of fear, paranoia or error and the entire world will be destroyed. And so, those who are deluded by the suggestion that they have the power to destoy their enemies need to wake up and smell the absolute need to cooperate with the "enemy". Clearly, current efforts to destroy the enemy are self-destructive. Sadly, we are indeed on the path towards Mutually Assured Destruction. Gorbachev saved the day in the 1980's but the US has continued to demonize anybody they can't control. |
