Russia’s heavy losses in WWI quickened existing calls for a political revolution against the tsar, as corruption and economic stagnation left millions of Russians in misery. By contrast, America’s economy was booming during the same period, largely due to a system of free enterprise. Political “radicalism” and especially Russian “Bolshevism,” then, were seen as unnecessary and dangerous.
I believe that characteristics and skills such as diplomacy, calmness, maturity, understanding, and honesty are all powerful traits. If every world leader had these, there would be world peace.
