34
Armistice

• WATCH!
• At the end, what did we learn?
• "I think we learned a great deal from the
  Great War. The first point is that as soon as
  international warfare is launched, nobody can
  predict the outcome. The second thing is that
  international war breeds civil war, and civil war
  is uglier than international war because there
  are no limits. We also learned that the
  technology of warfare expands much more rapidly
  than the capacity of political leaders to control
  it.
• And I think the final thing that the First World
  War taught us is that the easy access of
  individuals to democratic procedures is very
  fragile. Warfare suspends democracy. How high a
  price is victory? That's a question we owe to the
  First World War. And the question is still with
  us today." - Jay Winter.
