The only downside was that History revision has made me realise that the history of mankind is actually just a cycle of destruction, with wars causing more wars. The Seven Years' War caused the American & French Revolutions in exactly the same way that WW1 caused WW2. We're hateful creatures. It wasn't too great a revelation though, always the misanthropist.
Anyway, for once I have little to say. Time for bed.
Hope anyone who's reading had a similarly pleasant Wednesday.
Lol, the French Fringe.
ReplyDeleteI think wars have a positive side too btw, they sort the wheat from the chaff. It's evolutionary. Kind of. Maybe not in modern warfare. I don't know.
Sorry for this terrible comment, but I made a googlething just for you xxx
Your blogs a great read, I actually read every single post, haha :)
ReplyDeleteI can't figure out how to follow yet, but I soon will >__<
Thank you both :)
ReplyDeleteYour blog looks v interesting too, S.
In a random response while, like you, waiting for Friday to come around, the Treaty of Versailles and many agreements surrounding both WW1 and WW2 also caused much of the Middle East conflict as it currently exists, in the Balfour Declaration and further negotiations with the Jewish lobby in WW2...the scene was set really from then.
ReplyDeleteSorry, that's rather depressing, very thought-provoking topic to look into if you're interested though.
Philosopher-of-sorts from TSR by the way :)
Hmm, totally wikipedia-ing that stuff, Ewan (or Philosopher-of-sorts, ha). It may be depressing, but looking into how the West has messed up the Middle East is always fascinating. Thanks! :)
