Good Lord.

Erm, you might want to note that WWI and the economic regulation for the purpose of the war, and then the fact that the worlds major economies (apart from the US) were absolutely devastated after the war, was basically the end of classical liberalism.

Also the fact that Italy and Germany did not do as well as promised, and lost territory (respectively), made the growth of irredentism, and nationalism, arguably inevitable in those countries.
