World War I began 100 years ago this
summer and in my opinion was a cataclysmic event for Western
Civilization overall, in 1914 Europe controlled most of the world and
was a vibrant, technologically advanced, and morally pure society.
Fast-forward a hundred years and Western Civilization is slowly dying
a slow death from a plethora of macabre ideologies and economic
practices from multiculturalism, globalization, Keynesianism, debt,
and many more.
This pandora's box was opened on the
battlefields of World War I, a war which did not need to happen and
were the first nails in the coffin of so much. As a result of this
war, Communism rose in Russia (the
ideology from Hell which just doesn't want to die), the
British Empire began its slow death, the breeding grounds for
Nazism were created in Germany (which
resulted in another unnecessary world war), the
Sykes-Picot Agreement was created giving birth to that demon that
today is the Middle East.
Some 10 Million men were killed and
many more were maimed for life, annihilating an entire generation of
men across Europe, no doubt snuffing out many great things they would
have achieved had they returned alive or without harm. The war set
the stages for the economic boom that we now call the Roaring 20's in
America which ended up resulting in Prohibition and the Great
Depression. In the end World War I can be looked at as a European
Civil War were the cousins from America somehow became involved.
Further into history people will look back at the hundred year period
from 1914 until 2014 and lament how Western Civilization destroyed
itself through stupidity.
