Prediction of WWII

"I remember that fine old soldier-statesman, General Tasker H. Bliss, sitting in the very room in Spa in which Hindenburg planned his great 1918 spring drive on Paris, telling us that he had not favored the granting of an armistice. His direct military mind and his accurate historical studies had convinced him that the only satisfactory way to terminate a war was by the unconditional surrender of the vanquished and the acceptance of the terms laid down by the victor. This view, I believe, was concurred in fully by General Pershing. General Bliss further observed that he feared the Armistice was but the beginning of another Thirty Years War, and reminded us that the Thirty Years War was not thirty years of continous fighting but thirty years during which the intervening time was occupied solely in preparation for the renewal of hostilities."
