Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - INTRODUCTION -- There are to be no more wars. -- At the opening of our latestshall we say our last? war, we remembered our former successes, but we had not allowed for our possible enemies' increases in strength and speed. We thought, or perhaps it is better to say we felt, that we could call to arms, overnight, the victorious armies and navies of the past. We did do so, and they gained their ancient victories again, but at a cost of time and effort that we had never imagined. -- The war at last over, we decided that war must never happen again. Our late enemies were perfectly helpless. Their great commander had personally gone before his government, admitted defeat and advised peace. In the final settlement, our enemy was stripped of all her territory except her own home provinces; a crushing indemnity was imposed upon her; she was compelled to give up her entire navy and all her heavy war material; she was placed under such restrictions as would effectually prevent her from engaging in war without the consent of the victors. Buffer states were set up about her. We adopted as a definite policy the self-determination and autonomy of peaceful peoples, the economic isolation of recalcitrants. War is impossible. -- Why, then, do we still hear talk of the next war, and why do armaments continue to exist? Because die facts just stated have nothing to do with modern Europe and the late war with Germany. The statement is that which might have been formulated by a Roman citizen, of the situation in the Mediterranean world at the close of the Second Punic War, about 200 B.C.
