Европейский кризис культуры как предпосылка к войне
European Culture Crisis as Premise of War

Summary/Abstract: The Industrial Revolution brought the liberalization of the regime. It introduced new elements into the culture, which proved to be the source of a great cultural crisis. This crisis affected all spheres of human life, such as arts, economics, politics, and therefore impacted social consciousness. New social classes wanted power and they wanted to use it to determine the character of a new civilization. Interests of the old and new classes clashed with each other. Their cultures were not compatible, and neither were conceptions on administering the society. Thus, only an open battle could resolve that difficult situation. Although all claimed that they wanted peace, they began World War I. But it resulted not in peace but in preparation for another war. It turned out that the crisis in culture is the worst situation of the society.
