I am one of those few who think it would have been much better to have kept the European Imperial System, as Michael Howard implied.
Margaret MacMillan, Paris 1919, quoted Bliss, a Paris military attache, re 'surfacing' liberated nations of color: 'vicious from the moment of their birth'.
As Kennan said of Eastern Europe, after the fall of the Austro Hungarian Empire, 1919, it had been better than anything that has come after....For me, that is very safe for Kennan to have said, even back then...
