Excerpt from Collapse and Reconstruction: European Conditions and American Principles
I say simultaneous because just as the slowest ship makes the pace of a fleet, so the most back ward nation in the community Of nations makes the pace of civilisation.
But even assuming a relatively high degree of civilisation in any one State, the majority may be easily swayed by circumstances, oratory, prejudice, their mental balance disturbed by over-education, the rectitude Of their vision Vitiated by tradition and the different influences which determine the character of groups Of mankind just as they do that of individuals.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book considers the reconstruction of postwar Europe, discussing ideas, principles, and the significant changes that occurred during the war. Pre-existing tensions that influenced major conflicts are analyzed, such as German and Russian geopolitical positions. The author, an experienced observer of events, offers a unique perspective on diplomatic and governmental shortcomings. They argue that a focus on preventing war, rather than on addressing its root causes, led to the failure of prewar peace movements. Instead, the author presents 14 principles for the establishment of lasting peace, including the disarmament of nations, the abolition of conquest, and the granting of equal rights to all states. These principles, which have been widely adopted by Allied powers, form the basis of the author's vision for a more just and equitable world order. By examining past mistakes and proposing future solutions, this book provides valuable insights for understanding the complexities of international relations and the challenges of building a lasting peace.
