WORLD WAR I: THE EMPIRES DEVOUR THEMSELVES: CHAPTER 54 - CHILDREN OF LIGHT, CHILDREN OF SHADOW - TREY KNOWLES'S ALLEGORY CHRONICLES: Chapter 54 presents World War I as the moment when Europe's great empires turned their destructive power upon themselves. Nations that had long expanded through conquest and domination suddenly found their rivalries erupting into a devastating global conflict. Through allegory, the chapter portrays the war as the collapse of an old imperial order, where the same forces that once fueled empire—militarism, arrogance, and greed—now led those empires toward their own destruction. It marks the beginning of the end for the old world and foreshadows an even darker era to come.
