1914-1918: The Great War: the start and end of the Great War ushered in a tidal shift in global society, The old imperial monarchies and dynasties proved ineffective in running modern affairs and the tide of nationalism and parliaments and government bureaucracies, emerged as a more practical and effective way to govern. Parties and corporations thus loomed as the new monarchies of the twentieth century governance.

War and twenty somethings
War used to be a "rite of passage" for many young men, till it got supplanted by the modern version of university grads sneaking the deans car upside down on to the top of their garage under cover of darkness or these young bucks who landed a car on Mars. ie curiosity rover in Aug 6, 2012. It is the nature of youth to rebel even against rebellion itself and even against themselves.

Ode to the Great War

You went to protect the turfs
but to democracy did give birth,
and for that we are ever grateful,

For though democracy is a bad system,
it is the best one we have.

Thanks and RIP and honor.

To fight for King was one thing, to fight for Nationalism another,
To fight for Nationalism was one thing, to fight for Democracy and the rule of "just" law another.
