  1. One consequence of European history in the 19th century was that the military element of the aristocracy were in control. They needed military rank to justify their importance in a functioning society. It was fine when they had nothing to do, but when they were given complete control, they could be really dangerous. Elites, disconnected from the people are dangerous. They become more concerned with maintaining a superficial veneer than in serving the people. The Habsburg blundered for a month after the murder of the Archduke/Archduchess. The Russian bureaucracy were clueless, and overly obsessed with their client state. The media is all countries created a fever pitch of tension to sell newspapers, ratcheting up emotions. Every step after that was a blunder. The only smart leaders were those that kept their countries out. All of them shared one thing in control - civilian concerns were more important in Scandinavia, Holland, Spain and even lazy participants like Ireland, Greece, and Portugal. The whole era was a litany of repeated failures. Do not let inept incompetent people take control!!!!
