The truth was that\tThe soldiers lived miserable lives in the trenches, trapped with rats feeding on corpses.\tThey faced poisonous gas and enemy shelling, and witnessed their ranks reduce rapidly.\tAggressive war propaganda and national honour occupied centre stage in the public sphere, while popular support grew for conservative dictatorships.In fact, democracy was a young and fragile idea, which could not survive the instabilities of interwar Europe. | |
