Author predicts war rooted in economic social issues
The article argues war is an inevitable economic and social struggle, not a sudden clash, tracing origins to aristocratic land grabbing and tax burdens. It links dynasties like Hapsburgs, Hohenzollerns, and Romanoffs to land control, notes widespread European unrest, and predicts war will worsen taxation and social strain before a shift in England toward land-based taxation emerges.
