Which then actually shows that it's not clear whether it's good or bad that we forget about our past.
Also, I don't believe the pacifist sentiment is was as great as you say.
Perhaps politicians and those in the know perhaps but not amongst everyday people.
Anyway, conflicts are rarely rational but territorial and will express themselves in many different ways.
What we learn from history is not that we shouldn't fight wars but that there are many ways to win them.
- Juliate 8y agoIt's not a matter of belief. People of these times wrote down what they witnessed. "Perhaps" is not an argument. The first and only way to win a war is not to start it.
- ThomPete 8y agoReading about what other people experienced and actually experiencing it is two very different things. Most people didn't experience the front line, instead, they experienced poverty. So it depends on what the purpose is. Many if not most wars are about territory which is about access to resources.
