In 1870 the Germans shipped in large ordnance and shelled Paris, then shipped in AA guns to take down the French surveillance balloons. This was the era that invented modern warfare, through trial & error during several major Victorian conflicts (American Civil War, Franko-Prussian War, and the Russo-Japanese War being the big ones in that development cycle).

Clinging like the memory which haunts us all

The "long periods of peace" statement (for Great Britain) was written in the history books. I only mentioned it because it coincides with my favorite era. Which meant that If I were to pick another life all over again (before present) I would have chose to live in the Victorian Era in the UK where it was generally peaceful and quiet on the war front. Besides, who wouldn't want to to make out or sword fight with a bloke wearing tight pants and a frock with the accent? lol

HURDLE #1: If guys would learn to stop over complementing, and not compliment every tranny (or girl) they see and talk to (so a girl would feel it was sincere and that she's special), maybe they'd get somewhere but a dead end! lol

I have to go pick up The Picture of Dorian Gray again some time. Wilde was a pretty competent scribe, if overrated. Well, competent for a pederast.
