motives/rational of elite or people on the ground? agree with 1st, not 2st. that divide is mostly gone now.
Sorry, not following.
don't think WW1Tommy in trenches were fighting for democracy, but for god and country.
For country certainly. Religion was already fading here. But above all for notions of goodness & freedom that liberals still value today.
Imo The Russians were fighting for monarchic values. Same aristocracy led to the Russia/England alliance. Without it no England in the war.
OK. I'm not very interested in 20th century military history.
That's fine. I just think it is exceptionally important in the transition of western states from traditional values to modern ones.
Well, traditional to modern is always in flux. This was the period of modernism after all.
People fought for all sorts of reasons. Chivalric values were motivator. Many were forced. Deserters often shot. Even decimation was used.
Yes, I'm sure they did.
