jjTbe Motive of the War |
The Outlook
"4BK ' 3BK ? -W >MOflBC<4CC
In a regiment the thousand men
are animated by very different purposes.
One has enlisted for love of
country, one in the hope of booty;
one for the soldier's wage; one for
mere love of adventure. But the
purpose of the regiment is neither
one of these our all of them combined.
Its members rarely comprehend
the purpose of its colonel
and never comprehend the part it is
appointed to play i nthe part of the
campaign.
The purpose of this war is as little
determined by the motives of the
nations engaged in it as is the purpose
of a battle by the motives of
the private soldiers.
Individuals generally, nations always,
act from mixed motives. The
motives of the combatants in this
war, as variously imputed to them
by friends and foes, may be described
as follows:
The motive of Austria, partly an
indignant resolve to punish Servia
for a supposed conspiracy leading to
th: assassination of the Austrian
Prince, partly an ambition to annex
Servia to the Austrian empire, as
Mosnia and Herzegovinia had been
previously annexed, partly a desire
to secure a port on the Aegean sea
for the development of Austrian
commerce.
The motive of Servia, to preserve
her national existence and perhaps
to add to her national power and
prestige by annexing Bosnia and
? llerzegovinla.
The motive of Russia, partly to
protect her kin in the Balkan states
from the Austrians, partly to secure
for herself. If any partition of the
Balkan states results from the war.
as are in that partition and a longdesired
access to the Mediterranean.
The motive of Germany, partly to
aid her Germanic ally in her punitive
expedition against Servia, partly to
secure through Austria access to the
- Fgean and the Mediiterranean, partly
to protect herself from an apprehended
invasion by Russia and a possible
attack from France.
The motive of Belgium to presence
her neutrality against the invasion
of Germany.
The motive of France, partly to
aid Belgium in her just war of defense.
party to defend herself against
the invasion threatened by Germany,
partly to recover for herself the pro\inces
of Alsace and Lorraine taken
from her by Germany in the FrancoGerman
war.
The motive of England, partly to
protect tlie neutrality of Belgium,
which she had pledged herself to
protect. partlv to nrotect KVnnn?
from what she regards as an unjustiled
attack, and partly to curb what
she regards as the ambitious designs
of Germany and to maintain the balance
of power of Kurope.
The motive of Japan, partly to fullill
her pledges to England, partly to
get even with Germany for Ger
many's interference with Japan s
possession of the fruits of her victory
in her war with China, partly to
establish her supremacy in the East,
partly to bring about friendly relations
with Russia, her old-time enemy.
and tlius secure for herself peace
in her occupation of Korea and Manchuria.
partly probably to make a
permanent alliance with China by
f,i>niK iuiii country Kinucnuu after
haviuR won it from Germany, and
partly to Ret a reroRnized placa in
l": international councils of the
civilized world.
Out of this chaos of conflicting
motives it is impossible to construct
a purpose common to the powers on
either side. Still less is it possible to
deduce the true interpretation and
meaninR of this w ar from the dec larations
of the combatants. Not the
catch-words of international dinlom
acy, but the fundamental and often
forgotten currents of history, determine
on which fide the stars are
fighting.
^ History affords abundant illustra '
w ion of this truth.
The Napoleonic wars began in an
attemDt to drive the HonrVm nut of
France; they ended In an attempt to
establish a Napoleon empire over
Kurope. The allies combined to defeat
Napoleon and re-establish Hour
bonlsni. Hut neither Hourbonism
nor Napoleonlsm wan established.
The Bourbons were dethroned The
leaven of liberty, equality, and fraternity
was inserted by the .-word In
every Kuropean kingdom west of
ilussia. Then the Napoleonic empire
was destroyed and Bourbonism vas
temporarily restored, but only temporarily;
by 1860 not a Bourbon was
left on a European throne. Neither
the purpose of Napoleon nor the pur
pose of the allies was accvnp>i*d:e'i.
