World War I

"World War I was not inevitable, as many historians say. It could have been avoided, and it was a diplomatically botched negotiation,"

- Richard Holbrooke

 

 

"In the midst of possible world war, of wholesale destruction, I find my only question this: are there enough people now who believe? Is there time enough left for the wise to act? It is a contest between ignorance and death, or wisdom and life. My faith in humanity stands firm."

- Pearl S. Buck
