Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany and the Turks all lost their royals in the aftermath. It was said that Americans entering the war were going to "make the world safe for democracy". I'm not sure about that one, but it certainly made it less safe for anti-democratic monarchists, that's for sure.<br /><br />2) The introduction of antibiotics, penicillin, and sterile environments to medicine finally reduced the numbers of death-in-child-birth to levels that stopped distorting the male/female ratio. [Previously, it had been so bad, the life expectancy rate was half of what it is now due to that one factor. Which is a lot of women dying in child birth.] For millennia, this had a tremendous impact on society as there were far more young men than women. [This may also help to explain why women were treated like property: because they were far more rare than they are today.] And for many young men, a life in military service was an acceptable outlet for their frustrations. All this began to change in the aftermath of WW1. We had suffrage in many Western countries, and (not so coincidentally) we also began to have large anti-war movements as young men began to object to being butchered.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05343826209356986739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585995614037680457.post-36302189224453145682021-10-29T20:59:54.843+02:002021-10-29T20:59:54.843+02:00Armando Vacca, the man whose biography I wrote, wa...Armando Vacca, the man whose biography I wrote, was a deeply religious person. He often used the Christian equivalent of the islamic jihad using the term "bonum certamen", latin for "the good battle." But he understood that God didn't ask him to kill anyne. He concluded the last article on the newspaper he directed with words that a muslim could have written "God knows best."

I am just saying that political elites can sense the risk for their domination and try to channel the young men aggression in some particular direction to prevent the risk for their political and economic monopolies. But first step are always some kind of reforms. In our time reforms are substitution of economic freedom for some other irrelevant freedoms: women get the rights they don't really need, sexual perversion is normalized, etc. The more people become economic slaves, the more they are given irrelevant freedoms. When this trick fails, there is another trick - manipulation with fear (Covid hysteria). When this trick fails there is always war.<br /> Ivan Lukichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03921382989214812867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585995614037680457.post-73113052505169688602021-10-03T00:39:21.105+02:002021-10-03T00:39:21.105+02:00So it looks like the countries with large gap betw...So it looks like the countries with large gap between rich and poor are also more willing to genocide their own people in order to maintain the status quo.<br /><br />Do you see any support for this in WWI or WWII?

After reading it I immediately recalled famous text by John Zerzan in which he gave his explanation for the origins of the Great War. In some way it's very similar to your explanation. There, he claims that there was in all countries a threat of social revolutions and that all political elites had strong reasons to divert dissatisfaction from social injustice to foreign countries. One of the most unstable situations was in Russia where Tzar tried to channel the frustration of the young masses to the theme of solidarity with Orthodox brothers in Serbia. <br /><br />Highly recommended reading. <br /><br />John Zerzan, Telos 49, Origins and Meaning of World War I.

Mussolini spoke of "8 million bayonets" at the beginning of WWII, but then the Italian population was larger (42 million in 1939 against 36 million in 1914). And I think Mussolini also included the population of the Italian colonies, e.g. Ethiopians, who could provide additional bayonets.

Which is what you'd expect: 2 million dead out of a total of 35 million people is about 6% of the population. When the loss becomes noticeable is when you compare it to the number of people between 20 and 40 years old, when it grows to some 30%.
