"War and Peace" is a long novel because Leo Tolstoy wanted to provide a comprehensive depiction of Russian society during the Napoleonic Wars. The book encompasses various characters and themes, exploring the complexities of war, politics, and relationships in great detail, which required a lengthy narrative to fully capture the scope of the story. Additionally, Tolstoy's philosophical reflections and digressions contribute to its length.

What do you believe are a few effects of war on literature?

War damages many strata and fields of knowledge, so literature suffers from it as well. Book burning, book banning and the execution of influential writers are amongst the atrocities that occur during a war. No Iliad, War and Peace, or 1776can ever make up the losses that a portion of humanity has to endure for a senseless act. Don't just write for Peace, write for sensible leaders and educated voters, write for rationality and hope, for all that is lost in war.

How many years is the Hundred Years War?

The war lasted for 116 years. Then it was so long that they divided it into three parts: the Edwardian War, Caroline War, and the Lancastrian War. It started in 1337, and went to 1453.

Did Woodrow Wilson's 14 points create a long lasting peace?

Obviously the peace that ended WW I did not last very long . Just 15 years later, people could see that another war Germany was likely . However, now Europe is at peace and seems likely to stay that way for a long time, maybe forever, so something hopefully created a lasting peace and many of Wilson's ideas have come to be accepted.
