Trying to understand World War I

Edward Teller - Scientist


My other early memory is very much less agreeable. It is connected with the
beginning of the First World War. I remember sitting at the table and hearing
the discussion about the murder, murder of the Crown Prince, Franz Ferdinand, in
Sarajevo, a terrible thing. But there will be no war. And you know, I used a
privilege of children and I asked- Why? Why will there be no war? Well, because
there is no reason that there should be war. But if there is no reason, then why
do you say that there will be no war? I remember very clearly my confusion about
the issue and in the course of years and decades, this confusion really did not
change very greatly. I still don't know why there had to be a First World War,
but that lack of understanding is one of my earliest memories. Well, of course,
as a six year old, I was born in 1908, I was just a little over six years when
the Second World War started. And seeing all these people with their equipment,
even guns, marching down the main street in Budapest, was obviously very
interesting. Also, my father - he was a lawyer - had a map in his office, in
which the position of the armies was represented, so I learned geography. I
don't see why I should now repeat the sad and terrible story of that war. I want
to repeat one little circumstance. In the early phases, the Russian armies got-
occupied Lemberg, just north of Hungary, proceeded to a border of Hungary, the
Carpathian Mountains, perhaps a little beyond that. Now, in those days, my
father took my somewhat elder sister and me out for a walk every Sunday. And I
remember on such a Sunday being see- being shown- having seen a model of a
dug-out, you know, where- that you could hide from bullets. That, together with
the knowledge that the Russians were not very far, made all things very much
more real to me. So, the First World War was not a concept, was not something I
understood, but was something that gave me a peculiar connection between the
love of one's country and having to fight. I won't even say that that was a
problem. I do remember the end of it. And I do remember, when crowds in Budapest
demonstrated against the war, how that brought on a Socialist government that
after a short time was thrown over by the Communists. By that time I had started
my high school education.
