(1815), none alive to remember, thought it be fun and quick (nationalism: each think they will win).

b) Problems at home: Indus. Rev. leading to rise in: -poverty problems (including rise in socialism) -political unrest (anarchist terrorism) Note: Czar Alexander II (1881) US Pres McKinley (1901)

Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand (1914)-political demands by women (suffrage)

-challenges to religion by science + mass culture-confusion about what is right and wrong anymore

2) War distracts ppl from this. Ppl saw it as pure and easy to understand.
