The document provides background information on various social, political, and economic factors in Europe prior to World War I. It discusses the rise of modern ideologies like nationalism, socialism, and futurism among youth. It also examines issues like the women's suffrage movement, tensions between social classes, ethnic conflicts, and the effects of industrialization. Militarism is growing as nations engage in naval arms races and form complex alliances. At the same time, European imperialism and competition for global resources and markets is intensifying. All of these long-term trends contributed to rising tensions between the major powers, but the document notes that it is still unclear exactly why war broke out in July 1914.

He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

12. MANIFESTO OF FUTURISM
(Marinetti, 1909), (edited)
• We want to sing the love of danger, the habit of energy and rashness.
• We declare that the splendor of the world has been enriched by a new
beauty: the beauty of speed. A racing automobile with its bonnet adorned
with great tubes like serpents with explosive breath ... a roaring motor car
which seems to run on machine-gun fire, is more beautiful than the
Victory of Samothrace.
• We want to sing the man at the wheel, the ideal axis of which crosses
the earth, itself hurled along its orbit.
• Beauty exists only in struggle. There is no masterpiece that has not an
aggressive character. Poetry must be a violent assault on the forces of the
unknown, to force them to bow before man.
• We want to glorify war — the only cure for the world — militarism,
patriotism, the destructive gesture of the anarchists, the beautiful ideas
which kill, and contempt for woman.
• We want to demolish museums and libraries, fight morality, feminism
and all opportunist and utilitarian cowardice.

Science and Christianity join forces to bring
Christian virtue and bloody competition
“Conquest of markets”: Global markets/resources; and
means to control them (military/naval bases).
38. English cartoon: Irish as a Frankenstein's
monster. 1882 issue of Punch
Social Darwinism and Racism
Social Darwinism: fake “science” used to
legitimize racist ideologies, use of force, and
reinforce nationalism
And a form of distraction—working poor and
wealthy elites can share fears of the “other”
And be proud that they are “British” (by jove!)
and not something else.
