Re: 9-Jul-15 World View -- Greece's Alexis Tsipras compares himself to the tragic Antigone / Tunisia to build a wall
Well if Tsipras is antigone, I suppose that makes germany creon. If that's the case, then tspiras is willing to destroy himself and his country if it means his enemies will be cursed and shamed.

Re: 5-Jul-15 World View -- Greece's referendum revives memories of a bloody civil war / Tunisia declares a 'state of war
One interesting parallel that struck me was Russia. WWII was incredibly brutal and will be remembered by Russians for centuries, yet it was not a generational crisis war (that was the Russian Revolution). I think the civil war being an awakening era war is likely, given that there was no significant...

Re: 5-Jul-15 World View -- Greece's referendum revives memories of a bloody civil war / Tunisia declares a 'state of war
If WWII and the Greek Civil War of 1944-1949 was a crisis war for Greece, than what was the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922? That war was definitely a crisis war for Turkey, as they committed genocide against Anatolian Greeks and Armenians, the Ottoman Empire was ended, and Turkey fought a war of ind...

Generational Timelines for China
I have been studying Chinese history for years, but have only recently turned to it from Generational Dynamics perspective. Unfortunately, crisis wars are hard to identify, as most of the attention goes to dynastic changes, whereas a lot of the frontier wars who are most likely crisis war candidates...

Re: Skipping a generation: parental influence vs. peer influence
Regarding the question of American Awakening climaxes, two good candidates would be the elections of 1828 and 1896. Most narratives of political history view these as watershed moments: The 1828 election began the age of "Jacksonian Democracy" and was a victory of the young frontier leaders over the...

Re: The Black Death
I'm not sure, but I would think probably not. It is possible as the only European countries I've studied in this time period are Greece, France and England. Greece, was either in the midst of a crisis war (Civil War of 1341-1347/1353); France and England had just begun their Hundred Years War. Howev...

Re: Remembering the 1914 Christmas Truce
If an awakening and unraveling are in the same continuum, is there a way to distinguish an awakening from an unraveling? When reading The Fourth Turning and Generations I always understood an awakening to end when the era of spiritual fervor or unrest came to an end, such as in 1980 when Reagan came...

Re: Remembering the 1914 Christmas Truce
You mentioned Germany was in a generational awakening era during WWI, however I had always thought that Germany was in a generational unraveling era during WWI, with the awakening fizzling out in the 1900's decade or around 1910. When was Germany's generational awakening climax?
