Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from War and Peace, Vol. 6 The battle of Borodino, with the successive occupation of Moscow and the flight of the French army without further battles, is one of the most instructive events of history. All historians agree that the external activity of states and peoples, in their mutual collisions, is expressed by war; that immediately after great or petty military successes the political power of states and nations is increased or diminished. Strange as it seems in reading history to find that such and such a king or emperor, on quarreling with other emperors or kings, gets his troops together, attacks the enemy´s army, wins the victory, kills three thousand, five thousand, ten thousand men, and in consequence of this vanquishes a whole state and a whole population of millions of men; hard as it is to understand why the defeat of an army - the loss of a hundredth part of all a nation´s forces - should compel the submission of the entire nation, - yet all the facts of history, as far as it is known to us, confirm the justice of the assertion that the greater or less success of the army of any nation at war with another is the cause, or at least the essential indication, of the increase or decrease of the power of those nations. When an army has won a victory, instantly the "rights" of the victorious nation are increased to the detriment of the vanquished.
