THE EMPIRE: The Lesson of 1914 It is probably true that no one in Great Britain elther wants war . or thinks that war is a good thing, The old view, openly expressed by very distinguished people before 1914, that .war is not only necessary but desir- able and a tonic for the nation, did not long survive the touch of reality.
