Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Foreign Policy Since the World War It is inconceivable that a modern war which was of more than four years duration and which involved all the great nations and many of the lesser nations of the world should leave a powbility, in spite of the efforts of conservatives and reactionaries, of restor ing just as it was the old order of society, economics and politics. Many forces that are too weak to demand consideration before a war are given by an upheaval such as the world experienced from 1914 to 1918, a power that can not be disregarded. Old social and political forces may be deflected from their former courses, or trans formed, or even strengthened, by war. It is to be expected, there fore, that a post-war period should be marked by a conflict between the old, which was not entirely destroyed, and the new, which rises to proclaim the failure of the mien regime and to challenge the supremacy of the old order. A study of the aims, the ideals and the methods which determined the conduct of the foreign policy of one of the world's Great Powers during the first decade following the World War serves to confirm this statement.
