In the aftermath of the Great War, Oswald Spengler emerged as a prominent philosopher-historian, known for his grim predictions about the decline of Western civilization in "The Decline of The West." His ideas resonated during a time of significant moral and social upheaval, reflecting the tensions between Left and Right. However, he is often remembered as a failed prophet, as his predictions did not materialize, particularly the anticipated "age of Caesars," which was overshadowed by the rise of powerful states and the Red Army's influence in Europe.
