Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Anthology of Magazine Verse for 1919: And Year Book of American Poetry The end of the first year of Peace - as we call it - following nearly five years of terrible warfare, is more fittingly a time for reflection than critical comment. When the roar of guns died into final silence on the major battlefields of Europe and Asia, there came into being the deeper and broader sounds of the hostilities of the human soul; the score or more of little wars that went on throughout Europe and Asia for months after the Armistice was signed in France was lost in the great turmoil of social and economic conflict. All the great nations that were engaged in the World War were thrown into ferment by either the victory or defeat each had achieved. The victors were as dissatisfied with what they found at home as the vanquished. The war had been a great leveller of the national fabric everywhere. The result had been that the people after fighting for their governments against other governments, began a warfare against their own governments. Riots and strikes have been the manifestation of this conflict. Something went wrong, very wrong, after all the sacrifice that had been made to prosecute a war "for democracy."
