[In the World War by Count Ottokar Czernin]@TWC D-Link bookIn the World War CHAPTER XII 4/122
And the Entente are so swallowed up by their revengeful paroxysm of destruction that they do not appear to see that, while they imagine they still rule and command, they are even now but instruments in a world revolution. The Entente, who would not allow the war to end and kept up the blockade for months after the cessation of hostilities, has made Bolshevism a danger to the world.
War is its father, famine its mother, despair its godfather.
The poison of Bolshevism will course in the veins of Europe for many a long year. Versailles is not the end of the war, it is only a phase of it.
The war goes on, though in another form.
I think that the coming generation will not call the great drama of the last five years the world-war, but the world-revolution, which it will realise began with the world-war. Neither at Versailles nor St.Germain has any lasting work been done. The germs of decomposition and death lie in this peace.
