Historian Jacques Barzun observed how [[Evolution|Darwinism]] caused the horrendous brutality of the wars leading up to [[WWI]]: "Since in every European country between 1870 and 1914 there was a war party demanding armaments, an individualist party demanding ruthless competition, an imperialist party demanding a free hand over backward peoples, a socialist party demanding the conquest of power and a racialist party demanding internal purges against aliens — all of them, when appeals to greed and glory failed, invoked [[Herbert Spencer|Spencer]] and [[Charles Darwin|Darwin]], which was to say science incarnate."[http://www.creators.com/conservative/pat-buchanan/making-a-monkey-out-of-darwin.html]
