By creating the myth of the benevolent and short-term dictator, did Cincinnatus ultimately cause more harm to Rome than if he had refused the summons?

Well let's put it this way, he was a pratt for giving up the throne the first time round instead of holding office and ruling with a iron fist, Then taking on the other tribes while they where weak and his legions where on a winning streak.

Is England the European nation that nurtured, developed, and ultimately adopted the fundamental principles of the Enlightenment, or was England the nation in Europe that was left out, particularly as evidenced by the failure of the 1848 revolutions to penetrate deeply into English culture?

Simple answer:  I'm SCOTTISH!!!!

Edit:  Scrub that, Englandshire was the country that Europe forgot AFTER 1945 since basicly we where the only country that did not fall like a pack of cards in 1939 and then was the island aircraft carrier and floating barrick for thousounds of troops that launched the Allied Invasion of France.  For centuries after the defeat of Napleon, England (or rather Britain and it's Empire) spanned half of the globe and brought it's own form of enlightenment mainly thanks to the Redcoat Army holidng a musket/rifle and bayonet.  The so called revolutions only brought misery and war to mainland Europe.  Spain was so decadent that the monarchy fled to the country now known as Argentina and would not fight to defend it self against the invading French, it took the British army under command of General Sir John Moore and then later Sir Arthur Wellesly to free the oppression of the French (the British army had orders to pay for all food they took while the French just took it). so to answer your question Britain spread the word of the greater good to the world, which everyone now takes for granted.

In that case, if the Pax Britannica was worthwhile and beneficial to the world as a whole, why was the ending in the Great War so devastating?  Was Britain's conduct in, indeed potentially cause of, World War I necessary to due the calcification of British society or was it a reaction to the global sea-change of true modernity?  For example, if a war with Germany had been averted, would a different war with the United States, Russia, or France have been eventually provoked with the same horrific loss of life and global psyche?

As a follow up, is it time for the destruction of World War One to finally be acknowledged as the greatest of the three catastrophes of the early 20th century?  (The other two being Spanish influenza and World War II.)

World War One,Or The Great War, was fought by Generals who did not fully understand the mechanised killing machines that had been developed since the American Civil war, the crimean (both first use of trench warfare), the Zulu Wars of the late 1800's and the Boer war's in the early 1900's.  Machine guns developed by Gatiling then perfected by Maxim, Lewis (who was an American dentist), Vickers and Spandau took a devastaing toll on troops ordered just to walk towards the enemy weighed down with kit.  These later machine guns where light enough to be mounted onto the aircraft of the time. Also you had all sorts of gas,used on both sides, that either drowned you by filling up your lungs with fluid or blinding you.  The tank was then being developed and in thier first outing poorly used on a muddy,shell pocked landscape while horses where still being used as the main reccon and line breaker unit. If you look at the treaties signed at the time Britain had a Entante Cordial it was not a treaty saying if you are attacked we will sent troops. So it was not a military pact just one based on comerse. While France had a military based pact with Russia.  One of the main causes was that Germany,which had been unified by Von Bismarck, wanted to have a Empire based on the one that Britain had and a Navy similar the the Royal Navy. This lead in turn to both countries building bigger and heavier "Dreadnought" class Battleships so in a way that did contribute to a clash but not the main one.  It was really the treaty between Russia/France and Germany/Austro Hungary that was the main factor of the start of WW1. If you look at the treaties signed at the time Britain had a Entante Cordial with France it was not a treaty saying if you are attacked we will sent troops. So it was not a military pact just one based on comerse. While France had a military based pact with Russia.  While Russia had a close relationship,at the time, to the Balkan countries.  So when the Archduke Franz Ferdinand got assainated all of mainland Europe mobilised.  The Von Schleafen plan was based on taking France out then going for Russia, it did not take into account the British getting involved.

Actually you missed out the Spanish Civil War in your follow up question so there are 4.  It was a testing ground for the recently formed Luftwaffe,secretly trained in Russia, with modern type fighters and bombers and a lot of Scots went to fight against Franco and Hitler. I think that the First World War did not really end until 1946 even though a lot of people do not know that the final peace was signed in 1919 not 1918.  The peace paper had to be signed every month.  The Versaille Treaty was a smouldering catalyst for the killing to begin again since the "Allies" wanted to punish Germany for what it did financally, "Black Jack" Perishing of the USMC Expidition Force had the right idea take the war to Germany just keep on going.  That's what basicly happened in WWII even though envoys from Germany had been sent out with feelers for peace accords but the Nazi heirachy had thier heads so far up thier own backsides thinking that they where needed to keep the country in line and would not be brought to a war crimes trial. I reckon if you look at the whole it was part of the same thing so together it was just one great big tragedy and a waste of human lives.

We talk that way to confuse,buffdle and to lure you into a false sense of security before we send in the Haggi to plunder and pilage.
