Chapter Twenty-Eight/Contending With Two Ferocious Beasts - The Death Stroke - Continue

Historian Charles L. Mee, Jr., writes: "The collapse of the old order [caused by the first world war] was a necessary prelude to the spread of self-rule, the liberation of new nations and classes, the release of new freedom and independence."  Leading to the development of this postwar era was the seventh head of the wild beast, now healed, and with the United States of America moving into dominant role. The dual world power took the lead in advocating both the League of Nations and the United Nations. By the 1980's, U.S. political power has led the more privileged nations in creating a higher standard of living, in fighting disease, and in advancing in technology. It had even placed 12 men on the moon. It is no wonder, therefore, that mankind in general has followed the wild beast in admiration."
