in 1812 Britain really could not be considered a democracy given the extreme control the nobility had over the House of Commons.Democracies don't go to war on each other? What Bullshit is this? War of 1812 Two great democracies wared on each other. If I'm not mistaken Germany and the others were Democracies in World War 1. Hell wasn't their democracies in Ancient Greece that liked fighting each other WTF man?
In WW1 germany had a parliament, but it was weak when compared to the bureaucrats so while that maybe the model of democracy our so called intelligentsia would prefer I wouldnt really count it.
and for the Greeks definitely they fought all the time democracy or no, and the Roman Empire started under the Republic.
