The History Of Our Civilization Has Been

The Increase Of Territory And Power Of Empires By Force Of Arms Has Been The Policy Of All Great Powers, And It Has Always Been Possible To Get The Approval Of Their State Religion.

After The First World War The Economic Problem Was No Longer One Of Production. It Was The Problem Of Finding Markets To Get The Output Of Industry And Agriculture Dispersed And Consumed.

In Recent Times, European Nations, With The Use Of Gunpowder And Other Technical Improvements In Warfare, Controlled Practically The Whole World. One, The British Empire, Brought Under One Government A Quarter Of The Earth And Its Inhabitants.

Some Wars Have Been Due To The Lust Of Rulers For Power And Glory, Or To Revenge To Wipe Out The Humiliation Of A Former Defeat.

Science Has Produced Such Powerful Weapons That In A War Between Great Powers There Would Be Neither Victor Nor Vanquished. Both Would Be Overwhelmed In Destruction.
