RE: The Decline of the Aristocracy (by 1900) – Politically and Personally
lol, should I be sending encouragement or apologies? ;)
While I was researching I kept circling back to the idea that this 'end of an era' meant that all the land wars up to that point over the centuries had all been rather pointless in the end. So much blood shed and so many lives wasted.
Perhaps, though, I should have been rejoicing in the fact that my agricultural ancestors finally caught a break, lol.
"All the land wars up to that point had been pointless" as opposed to land wars now?
I don't think the English have many land wars these days - at least not on English soil. No more storming the castle.
