- 3. Who said this? “Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time of [War], where every man is Enemy to every man; the same is consequent to the time, wherein men live without other security, than what their own strength, and their own invention shall furnish them with…. In such condition, there is no place for Industry … no Knowledge of the face of the Earth; no account of Time; no Arts; no Letters; no Society … and danger of violent death; And the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” “All that we can do, is to keep steadily in mind that each organic being … has to struggle for life and to suffer great destruction. When we reflect on this struggle, we may console ourselves with the full belief, that the war of nature is not incessant, that no fear is felt, that death is generally prompt, and that the vigorous, the healthy, and the happy survive and multiply.”

Editor's Notes
- MAP 24.2 Asia in 1914. Asia became an important arena of international competition in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Beset by economic stagnation and an inability to modernize, a weak China was unable to withstand the demands of the United States, the European powers, and a Westernizing Japan. Britain, France, Russia, Japan, and the United States had direct or indirect control of nearly all of Asia by 1914.
- Opening of the Suez Canal. Between 1850 and 1871, Continental Europeans built railways, bridges, and canals as part of the ever-spreading process of industrialization. A French diplomat, Ferdinand de Lesseps (fer-DEE-nahn duh le-SEPS), was the guiding force behind the construction of the Suez Canal, which provided a link between the Mediterranean and Red Seas. Work on the canal began in 1859 and was completed ten years later. As seen here, an elaborate ceremony marked the opening of the canal. A French vessel led the first convoy of ships through the canal. The banks are lined with curious local inhabitants.
- World War I, 1914–1918 There were seven principal battle fronts in the war: the western and eastern fronts, northern Italy’s border with Austria, the Balkans, the periphery of the Ottoman Empire, the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean, and the sprawl of overseas colonies.
