Default They Shall Not Grow Old

The assassination of one Duke was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The spark that ignited the fuse of the volatile powder keg that Europe had become at that time.

Even without this event the war probably would have happened anyway. The Order of that time was unsustainable.

What I find unsettling is that young people just don’t seem to care or are not even remotely interested in this period of our not too distant past.

You are so right about that “handful” of people. As it stands now there are some dark forces at work in Europe and it would seem people haven’t learned anything from the past.

I can recommend visiting Flanders Fields, for me it was moving and heartbraking...the loss is almost tangible and roams the fields like a spectre.

The irony is that many modern medical practices found their origin in these dark times.
