As I sit here in this hospital, neurasthenic they call me, I can feel the earth shifting under my feet.  This war has changed things; European society will never be the same.   People are starting to question the authority of the upper classes who have brought us into this useless conflict; people like me are beginning to speak out.  Workers are fighting for more rights, the Irish are beginning to unshackle themsleves from their colonial masters, starting with the Easter Uprising; the tiny colony of Canada outshone both Britain and France at Vimy Ridge; the Bolsheviks in Russia have overrun the Czar and murdered him and his family; and women all over the world have moved from the kitchens to the factories and are fighting succesfully for the right to vote.  Because of this war, the world will never be the same.  At least some good is coming out of this madness.
