Rudyard Kipling (1836 – 1936) . Kipling was the most important British writer in the 1890s, writing extensively on British India (Remember the earlier section on the British East India Company.) In 1892, he moved to Brattleboro, Vermont. Kipling is arguably best known for the Jungle Book (1894) and his poem “White Man’s Burden” (1899). Read “White Mans’s Burden.” How does Kipling justify imperialism (Social Darwinism?)
The “Age of Ideologies” provides an explanation for the outbreak of the “Great War” in 1914 (otherwise known as the World War I) and the post-war world after 1918. Nationalism, for example, created intense rivalries and hatreds that helped trigger and sustain the war that raged from 1914 to 1918 Other ideologies, such as Marxist socialism, led to the 1917 Revolution in Russia that led to the formation of the Soviet Union by the early 1920s. This set the stage for a clash between liberal democracies and socialist nations for much of the 20th century.
