To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Alsace and Lorraine, separated from the nation, were a constant call to war; Sedan and Metz were two in- sults which constantly cried for satisfaction; but so greatly had the French people prospered without Alsace and Lorraine, and so vigorously had they conquered a place in the industrial and financial world that, though they had not forgotten, an intense desire for peace animated them all. To the military and aristocratic regime of monarchical, especially Napol- eonic, days, had succeeded the... regime of the great middle class. Its small tradesmen, manufacturers, ag- riculturists, and modest financiers all enjoyed greater well-being in France than in other countries. Of a peaceful nature, little inclined for adventure, desirous of glory when not fraught with danger, fond of their own wealth, they asked only that their well-being be indefinitely prolonged. The upper classes, the high financiers and men of big business, had followed the middle class in these pacifist tendencies. Four decades of economic prosperity had wrought a change in French opinion, had wrested the directing of it from the aris- THE GENERAL CONFLICT 137 tocratic class who found glory in the arts of war, and given it to business men who found in peaceful pur- suits the only means of augmenting the national wel- fare.
