The Last Years of Peace By Mark Ralph Rowe 3/10/2014 By the year 1913 the world had seen many decades of a new industrialized world economy. The last major war was the Napoleonic Wars led by Napoleon Boneparti during the French Second Republic. Napoleon Boneparti was a wealthy nobleman born during the turn of eighteenth century. He had boyhood dreams of becoming a mighty general for the Bastil. He was promoted to general in a short amount of time. The battle of Waterloo was planned to a high level of shill, aided with the world latest advanced weapons. The United States Navy and Army had the same level of military technology as the Bastil during the mid nineteenth century. The United States and France were the “two super powers” during most of the early to mid nineteenth century. Russia was struggling to compete with the U.S., U.K., France, and Germany during the last half of the eighteenth century, since Russia initially was an isolationist nation before Peter The Great ventured to Sweden and spent years learning the art of naval warfare and modern warship design. Peter The Great defeated the region of Sweden that St. Petersburg currently still stands with its beauty and grander. Russia rapidly organized, developed, and prospered during the eighteenth century. The once Muscovite peoples of northeastern Asia were asked by Peter The Great to shave their beards, adopt to other European customs and traditions, and rapidly industrialize their nation that became Prussia.
