History’s Starting to Rhyme…
by James Rickards Daily Reckoning
Has World War III already begun?
That’s not a facetious question meant to grab attention. It’s a legitimate question.
It’s often the case that momentous events begin in small ways and expand out of control. In retrospect, it seems obvious that war was inevitable. But at the time, it’s not obvious at all. Events might seem disconnected and it’s far from obvious that war is inevitable.
Historical hindsight is 20/20.
World War I was not called that at the time. It was called the Great War. It was only when World War II arrived that the name World War I was applied.
