I hope you’re not suggesting that I implied that the world was a better place due to the first World War.
Not at all. The Germans actually sent Lenin in during the Great War and the tactic worked for them in the short run. The Revolution knocked Russia out of the War. Of course, thirty years later they were probably wishing they hadn’t. Most people living in the West today can probably trace their origins in some way to the upheavals of the middle twentieth century, for good or ill.
