$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Chocky', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'N')ow the rest of europe on the other hand seem to have learned it's lesson after,the 100 Years War,the 80 Years War,the 30 Years War,the Napoleonitic Wars,The Franco-Prussian War,WWI and last but not least WWII.
Of course, people said that after the first world war didn't they. "Yep, we won't have any more wars now, not after the 'war to end all wars'. I don't think human nature or whatever you want to call it can really change the way you say.
true......in part
but the lessons of WWII seems to have taken deeper roots in the european mass sub-concious than the lessons of WWI had on the sub-consious of the Interbellum population if only because of improved education,and mass communication,and the Holocaust and not Stalins Gulags having been held up as the standard for abhorent human behaviour,for at least 3 generations now.
How horrific the the trenches where,they never had that impact on the populace.
case in point btw, is still the severe reluctance of the Germans to engage in any major military actions.
If this isn't Pavlov on a massive scale then nothing is.
