"Business thrives in the ruins. Cities become piles of ruins; villages become cemeteries; countries, deserts; populations are beggared; churches, horse stalls. International law, treaties and alliances, the most sacred words and the highest authority have been torn in shreds. Every sovereign “by the grace of God” is called a rogue and lying scoundrel by his cousin on the other side. Every diplomat is a cunning rascal to his colleagues in the other party. Every government sees every other as dooming its own people and worthy only of universal contempt. There are food riots in Venice, in Lisbon, Moscow, Singapore. There is plague in Russia, and misery and despair everywhere."
This passage tell us how bad the War world had done not only to the countries that were mainly involve in it but to other parts of that world that had to live to the disaster of this madness that was going on. "Villages becoming cemeteries" is clearly that the War was becoming a death sentence to everybody, people that was against it and people that did agree with it. it seem like there was no way out of this rage that was taking over. There was no real loyalty coming from any direction, people will make agreements and brake them as soon as an opportunity to take over come alone. Even thought thing are not as bad now as they were back then, however politic is not that great now either. In many countries there still no help what so ever so the people. No health coverage, Not enough Food, No healthy water, Really bad diseases and many other things that the politics should be taking care of.
