Were the Late 1800s-Early 1900s the most comfiest time in history?

For us it was because we stopped going to war.

Did anyone else have a war during this period?

>>77003920
Yes and famine

>>77003920
This period was for UK, France the colonization era in Asia. Africa also.
And others europeans countries were there too

Maybe if you were a russian serf

>>77003898

Yeah absolutely. I miss polio, WW1 and the Spanish Flu desu

>>77004460
>russian serf
they were starving and were treated like absolute garbage, not to mention literacy rate among them was close to zero.
i am honestly so glad the russian empire collapsed, it was truly a hell for people

>>77004552
The russian empire was industrializing and changing by the beginning of WW1. If the Czar was competent the soviets would've never seized power

>>77004592
if the czar was competent, the russian empire wouldn't be industrialising and changing by the beginning of WW1.

pre-industrial aristocratic culture and social institutions are utterly irreconcilable with an industrialised economy. some kind of revolution was just waiting to happen, even if it wouldn't necessarily be bolshevik.

changes in economy and industry ALWAYS lead the way for social change, as well.

>>77004504

>>77004647

Don't confuse the liberal ideas swept through europe with industrialization

>>77004665

Do you in fact deny the existence of the polio epidemic, world war 1 and the spanish flu?

And yes you dumb nigger, having good odds of being paralyzed, dying to fucked lungs or dying in war is objectively fucking shit compared to now. If you're going to be one of those nostalgic rose goggle retards at least do it over an era you were alive to experience.

Aesthetically yes.

I love that period. The world was going the right place.

>>77004687
it's widely agreed that they go hand in hand. only an idealist would disagree.

industrialisation -> birth of a new middle class -> development of a bourgeois culture -> development of liberal ideas

>>77003920
We had a war then.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aceh_War

>>77004799

>development of a bourgeois culture

There was always a bourgeois culture. They just weren't big in piss pot countries like yours

>>77004811
We were fighting Jihadi's centuries ago.

>Muslim Acehnese from the Aceh Sultanate performed "holy war" known as Parang-sabil against invaders such as Americans in the attack on Joseph Peabody's ship Friendship, the First Sumatran expedition and the Second Sumatran expedition,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24] and against the Dutch in the Dutch expedition on the west coast of Sumatra and most notably during the Aceh War, where they performed suicide attacks as part of "parang sabil". It was considered as part of personal jihad in the Islamic religion of the Acehnese.

>>77003920
Well you occupied Åland. Area that was supposed to be demilitarized
Never trust the Swede etc

>post french drawing
>this is actually the time when France become a big joke
Wow you're retarded

>>77004845
aristocratic culture =/= bourgeois culture

bourgeois culture is largely agreed to be the result of the industrial revolution. what made them special is that they had enough influence to challenge the aristocracy and the aristocratic values, just by being rich, as opposed to having the right bloodline.

>>77003898
It's hell for Asian

>>77004914

Like I said that existed in other places in Europe just not piss pots like Sweden or Russia

>>77004998
examples?

>>77005004

England, The english colonies, the Lowlands, Switzerland. You know that the good places of Europe and the world

If you weren't a Boer, a native Congolese, a Chinaman, an Armenian, a Balkan Turk, an African railroad constructor, a Western poor worker, an anarchist, a black American, a Latin American peasant, a colonial soldier or a victim of epidemics, maybe the 1900s weren't too bad.

It's almost ghastly to think how Europe reverted to barbarism in a short amount of time, nobody in 1910 could have imagined an Auschwitz or a gulag archipelago.

The Russian foreign minister told Nicholas II at the start of hostilities in 1914 that "Should this war go badly for us, an extreme political and social revolution is all-but inevitable."

>>77004432
Living standards in the late 1800s up to WWI were steadily rising, the middle class was expanding, and on the whole Europe had never been so prosperous. The war catastrophically devastated the middle class and allowed the development of extremist political ideologies.

tell us about it.

>>77005783
Actually the interwar period. The two world wars made them rich and they established a welfare state during the 30s. Before WWI, Sweden was poor and overpopulated, a lot of people emigrated to the US and Canada. For example, Greta Garbo grew up in a squalid tenement neighborhood in Stockholm.

>>77005920
There was a reason why a lot of people moved to USA.
Even the poorest niggers lived better than europeans at that time

The average American by the turn of the 20th century had more opportunities and higher living standards than his European counterpart, actually as far back as colonial times Americans had a better diet and generally healthier living conditions than Europeans. Many people in Europe then were peasants who were whipped by some nobleman on his estate and ate an extremely meager diet especially deficient in protein. As late as WWI a lot of British army recruits from working class towns like Manchester were in poor health and unfit for military service, suffering from rickets and scurvy.

>>77006081

You're right desu
Fuck w*ites

>>77006081
In WWII, when a German tank broke down, they would just abandon it while Americans would try to repair tanks. This was because the US had a well-established car culture and most GIs knew how to fix motor vehicles. The average European at that time did not own an automobile.

>>77004877
France died in the 18th century already

>>77006111
Nice double double trips.

WWII acted as a great social leveler in Europe, the lingering remnants of feudalism disappeared and there was a major middle class expansion. By the 60s, virtually everyone in Western Europe with a job could afford a car/bike/refrigerator/washer/radio.

>>77006444
Homeless rate in nsdap germany was 0% as was unemployment, near 100% had cars.

Nsdap had free healthcare for everyone, free education for everyone, and memberships into the echlelons of power open to everyone.

Actually we did and we helped negotiate a peace in this silly war of yours.

Sure, if you think having fuck all education, comforts, medicine and ability to understand what was going on around the world is "comfy", then why not?

Also, you're a fucking idiot.

>>77004665
More or less for the majority throughout the world, it was. People were dying horribly painful deaths, commonly, for things we now pop into the doctors to antibiotics for. Only a complete fucking idiot would ever think that life was more "comfy" prior to modern comforts.
I fucking hate delusional tradcon scum like you. I bet you also wish for the "end of western civilisation", like the rest of your retarded ilk who genuinely think it was better back in those "manly times" where "men were men and women where women [and STDs were a death sentence]".

You're a fucking idiot.

'no'. Watch this movie if you have time to. It's about the life of factory workers at the end of the 19th century
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104046/

>In the 1890s, Father Adolf Daens goes to Aalst, a textile town where child labor is rife, pay and working conditions are horrible, the poor have no vote, and the Catholic church backs the petite bourgeoisie in oppressing workers. He writes a few columns for the Catholic paper, and soon workers are listening and the powerful are in an uproar. He's expelled from the Catholic party, so he starts the Christian Democrats and is elected to Parliament. After Rome disciplines him, he must choose between two callings, as priest and as champion of workers.

The RCC in the US was at that time a leader in social justice and workers' rights, thanks to the work of some energetic young priests in the urban Northeast while the Church in Europe were still sitting around crying about the French Revolution 100 years after the fact.
