Description:Excerpt from Political Systems in Transition: War-Time and After Never perhaps have the hopes of democratic idealism been higher than on the day of the signing of the armistice which brought the World War to a close. It seemed as if the promised land of international cooperation and domestic regeneration were in sight, and that it needed but a simple readjustment of abnormal conditions to mark the inauguration of a new era. Autocracy had been overthrown and humiliated. Germany and Austria were in the throes of a revolution, Turkey was at the mercy of the Allies, and Russia, though for the moment in a state of confusion, was forever freed of the despotic rule of the Czar and his court. By contrast, the victorious democracies, under the inspiration of the ideals aroused by the war, were prepared to take in hand the conditions of their national life and reconstruct their political systems in accordance with those fundamental principles of justice which had been evoked against their common enemy. The world had been made safe for democracy; democracy was now to prove itself worthy of the sacrifices made in its name. The anniversary of the signing of the armistice was a day of complete disillusionment. Autocracy was still overthrown, but it seemed doubtful whether in some of the states it had not been succeeded by a dictatorship of the proletariat far more dangerous than its own regime had been. Germany, with its new democratic constitution, gave some promise of stability; but it was believed by many that there had been no change of heart on the part of the German people, and that the conception of state morality which had characterized the Germany of 1914 persisted as strongly as ever under the rule of the people. Austria and Hungary were reduced to the point of utter national exhaustion, while Russia had revived for the time the despotism of the Czar in the reaction of its more radical elements against counter-revolutionary movements and the intervention of the Allied armies.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
