Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Anglo-German Commercial and Colonial Rivalry as a Cause of the Great War: A Thesis Presented to the Department of History, University of Southern California, Los Angeles

That the present war is not due to religious differ ences on the part of the combatants is evident from the fact that Protestant England is in alliance with Cath olic (greek) Russia, and Catholic (roman) Portugal; and the Christian and the Infidel are brothers in arms, fighting each other 's battles in the armies of the Cen tral powers. In the same manner racial animosities and ties are annulled in the fact that German is ar rayed against German and Slav against Slav in the deadly conflict. That dynastic considerations had no influence in precipitating the war is also manifest in the fact that Germany and England, whose royal houses are intimately related through marital ties, are the sorest enemies.

Excerpt from The Anglo-German Commercial and Colonial Rivalry as a Cause of the Great War: A Thesis Presented to the Department of History, University of Southern California, Los Angeles

The following extract from the vision of the late Tolstoi is highly prophetic of the grave disaster which at this time threatens to involve the whole civilized world - the European war. The prophecy written in 1910, and sent by this Russian novelist and socialist to the Emperors of Russia and Germany, and also to the King of England, runs as follows: "I see floating upon the surface of the sea of human fate the huge silhouette of a nude woman. She is in her beauty, her poise, her smiles, her jewels - a super-Venus. Nations rush madly after her, each eager to attract her especially. But she... flirts with all. In her hair ornaments of diamonds and rubies is engraved her name Commercialism!... much destruction follows in her wake... her looks of greed are so much poison to the nations who fall victims to her charms. And behold! she has three gigantic arms with three torches of universal corruption in her hands. The first torch represents the flame of war that the beautiful courtesan carries from city to city and from country to country."
