World War II era reflections on monarchy and democracy
A reflective column argues that Britain, France, and Italy once sought to halt Russia, with the United States joining in.

The piece cites Belgium, Britain, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, and China as examples, and weighs the fate of monarchies against Soviet dictatorship and fascist regimes.
