Summary "The Contemporary Review, Volume 36, October 1879" by Various is a collection of articles and essays written in the late 19th century. This volume includes discussions on various topics such as British policy in Afghanistan, philosophical considerations in France, and critiques of contemporary movements and events. The editorial choice reflects a blend of political analysis, cultural criticism, and scholarly inquiry, aimed at shedding light on the complex issues of the time. The opening of this volume focuses on an article regarding the British involvement in Afghanistan, particularly the aftermath of Major Cavagnari's death and the ensuing political ramifications. The author critically examines the motivations behind Britain's actions in the region, highlighting the miscalculations of leaders like Lord Lytton, who underestimated the Afghan's capacity for retaliation after years of aggression. This discourse sets the stage for a broader critique of imperial strategies, questioning the rationale of military interventions and the resulting humanitarian impacts in both Afghanistan and India. The piece argues for a more reflective and ethical approach to imperial governance, suggesting that the consequences of such policies are far-reaching and detrimental to the stability of the British Empire.
