ABSTRACT
On the military side wars were due to the introduction of novel weapons, and on the political to a sequence of catastrophic revolutions which challenged nineteenth-century civilization and profoundly changed the character of war. To the Democracies peace was an end in itself, the cessation of war; to the National Socialists it was a time wherein to incubate war; and to the Russian Marxists it was but another form of war. Of the Russian and German outlooks on war, the former was the more all-embracing, as its ideology was global and its warfare continuous, therefore it was the more threatening to the Democracies. On 3rd September 1939, Mr. Churchill became First Lord of the Admiralty, with a seat in the War Cabinet. At the Adana Conference, 30th January 1943, the Turkish Prime Minister had told Mr. Churchill as: All the defeated countries would become Bolshevik and Slav if Germany was beaten.
