This modules reading included an excerpt from Dutch historian Johan Huizingas book In the Shadow of Tomorrow about the survival of Europeans after World War I. Review the passage and then answer the following questions in your initial post to the discussion:
How did World War I challenge the idea of the white mans burden and Europeans assurance of their own superiority? What does Huizinga blame for Europes prewar optimism and what does he replace that optimism with? What does Huizinga blame for the decline of civilization? Does he offer any solutions?
