Peace Treaty, Versailles 1919 - Harsh Terms
On page 31 of "On The Origins Of War" you discuss peace treaties that impose harsh terms on the losing side.
You made a comment "Such was the peace that Prussia imposed on France in 1871 or, as the common view has it, the victors imposed on Germany at Versaiile in 1919."
Do you not think that the peace terms were harsh and they were not a leading cause of the next world war?
Can you explain what you meant by that comment?

Your thinking of the statement from a pessimistic oulook. It is true one would think that a harsh teaty such as the treaty of versailles would dampen the possibilities of a future war, but it was one of the main reasons for the outbreak of the second world war. The November Criminals signed the treaty still with the German forces in the field, the German countryside and industry was never once destroyed and the Germans wanted revenge. The treaty merely forbide the Germans from mobilising an army, a fleet, a navy but it had nothing in place to stop them from doing exactly that(the league of nations was fruitless). The Germans wanted revenge and they had all the facilities there to take it. The only thing stopping them was paperwork, that the British and Americans though were too harsh!

Peloponnesian War
Just a short not after reading the introduction and about 1/3 through book.
As a background as a research scientist the ability to translate important information in Englisg that non-specialists can understand is , actually, more important than doing the research.
I have taught both my daughters how important it is to learn and history and science , are probably, the two most important areas where anybody can learn.
They both pertain to what is happening now and understanding them helps one understand life.
Writing a non-academic account of a historical or scientifis happening is an essential aspect of the research!
Book great and weel worth the problems you have probably encountered!
How about the same for the period of the Greek-Persion wars including Marathon?

On the Origins of War
I found this book extremely interesting and informative.
We have been assigned to read parts of it in my IB World History class. So far we have only read on World War I, but I plan to read it all!

The 13th Tribe by Koestler is not a book of history, it is a book of historical fiction.

Alexander Tytler
There is a statement circulating on the internet which reads:
"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government." This is followed by a list of reasons why the Athenian Republic fell. Can you tell me the origin of this quote?
