We were just > all over the world, satiating our thirst for another victory... That sarcasm looks a bit silly if you remember what the winners of WW1 did within the next five years. Britain and France stomped all over the Middle East to enforce the Sykes-Picot agreement and forced through the Treaty of Lausanne and gave Venizelos the green light to invade what was left of Turkey. The US, Britain, France and Japan launched the War of Intervention against the Soviet Union. Italy turned into a Fascist state. US oil companies started their proxy Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay. They just forgot to give this lot a catchy label like "New World Order". -- -- Jack Campin Computing Science Department, Glasgow University, 17 Lilybank Gardens, Glasgow G12 8QQ, Scotland 041 339 8855 x6854 work 041 556 1878 home JANET: jack@dcs.glasgow.ac.uk BANG!net: via mcsun and ukc FAX: 041 330 4913 INTERNET: via nsfnet-relay.ac.uk BITNET: via UKACRL UUCP: jack@glasgow.uucp
