Ok, see this is why it's not a good idea to attack the guys with the guns when your only weapon is a bicycle. This is why the silly Frenchmen lost to the Prussians. They were on bikes, the Prussian's had tanks. Do the math.Section 8 Question
How did public opinion play an increasingly important role in the conduct of military affairs in the period up to 1914? Public opinion played an important role in the conduct of military affairs in the period leading up to 1914. Because of the development of the telegraph, and the increase of public litteracy, news was more widespread among the population. Patriotism and Nationalism became two very important factors in the way the people viewed the military. Patriotism was the main thing holding societies together, serving one's country and dying for one's country was a popular view. Nationalism was displayed through new flags and anthems. People were also becoming part of the militarism movement, allowing men to enlist in the army, rather than simply take the misfits of society, dress them up, and pass them off for soldiers. Now the people could actually take pride in their nations army, rather than be ashamed of having criminals representing them.
