Given the current global climate, with increasing nationalism and a changing global balance of power, there are so many parallels to the time just before WWI.
People thought at the time that a major war between world powers would be too costly and would either never happen, or would end fast if it did. You can sense a similar complacency today.
If ever there was a time to step back and learn the lessons of WWI, it's now.
