The Road to the War Against Democracy
New!
From: Myths of Modern History
$2.90
This chapter focuses on the First World War and the myth that this was an unexpected war triggered by an "accident;" rather, as the author explores, this war was wanted, expected, carefully prepared and ultimately unleashed by a partly aristocratic, partly bourgeois upper class that ruled most if not all European countries in the early twentieth century. The author’s stance is that this was a war against democracy.
