Reflecting on the legacy of the Great War has also been an occasion for reviving the era’s mentalities. In the United Kingdom, Education Secretary Michael Gove recently issued a polemic against historians who emphasized the futility of the war, calling it a “just war” directed against the “ruthless social Darwinism of the German elites.”
反思一战遗产也是振兴时代思维的契机。在英国，教育达成迈克尔·戈夫（Michael Gove）最近引发了一场针对认为一战是徒劳的历史学家，称一战是为对抗“德国精英的一根筋的社会达尔文主义”的“正义的战争”。这似乎是对当代欧洲实力斗争的不太含蓄的暗示。
