"Bolshevism presented itself as an economic threat to themselves at the same time that Nazism presented itself as a political threat to their countries"
- Carroll Quigley
About this Quote
This quote by Carroll Quigley talks to the 2 significant hazards that European countries dealt with in the early 20th century. Bolshevism, a form of communism, was viewed as a financial hazard to the countries of Europe. This was because of the reality that it looked for to rearrange wealth and resources, which was seen as a hazard to the existing financial order. On the other hand, Nazism was viewed as a political risk to the countries of Europe. This was because of its extreme nationalism and its desire to develop a unified German state, which was seen as a risk to the existing political order. Hence, these 2 ideologies provided different, yet equally hazardous, hazards to the countries of Europe.
