World War I

November 16, 2018

 

Europe’s and Russia’s monarchies were replaced with characters like these. Makes you ill, doesn’t it?

DR. Peter E. Chojnowski reflects on the 100th anniversary of World War I, which was commemorated earlier this week:

On the 100th anniversary of the “armistice” that ended World War I and set the stage for World War II, we are forced to recognize the tragedy that has lasted 100 years. It is the post-Christian Age. That the post-Christian Age has seen Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Mao, Harry Truman — of Hiroshima/Nagasaki fame and the social and political degeneration of the West and the decomposition of a Western Christian fashioned world order, is only part of the tragedy which looks us in the face when we think about this 100 year anniversary of a fraudulent and tragic end to one of the most catastrophic wars in human history. When the Armistice was signed on November 11th, 1918, the Germans, believing the fraud presented by Woodrow Wilson — surely one of the stupidest presidents in United States history — as the “Thirteen Points” — did not believe they were surrendering. They were not told they were surrendering; but they were. “Self-determination” would only be for those favored by the Masonic Powers. Certainly it did not apply to the Austrians, who would have joined with their fellow German-speakers to form a strong Germanic Central European State. They were not allowed to because Wilson believed that such a power — since it would have a clear Catholic majority — would be under the “control” of the Papacy. Neither the Germans nor the Austrians could keep their ancient monarchies due to the fact that they were threatened by the United States with a starvation blockade if they should not adopt republican forms of government. The republican forms of government produced National Socialism and Communism in Central and Eastern Europe. Wilson’s moronic hatred of monarchy was best displayed in his elation when hearing of the fall of Nicholas II in Russia — to be replaced by a parliamentary republic — he said, “Finally, Russia is fit for a League of Honor!” A more nauseating statement, in the circumstances, cannot be imagined.

When we realize that in World War I, what should have been a regional and short conflict between overly armed and ridiculously antagonistic European powers, became an ideological crusade against monarchy, due to the quiet promise of American intervention given by Woodrow Wilson — who campaigned in 1916 with a “He Kept Us Out of War” slogan — the tragedy of the war becomes clear. Not the tragedy of the outcome, which was catastrophic, but the tragedy that the war was fought in the first place, becomes clear.
