He was from South Africa, don't forget that. Some of them participated in the World Wars, but were those wars a real threat for SA? The events which shaped SA most were a) the Boer Wars and b) the end of apartheid, for better or for worse. Their last big change was in 1994, not 1945.


Checking: The Boer War went from 1899-1902. Tolkien was a kid then, and his parents would have protected him. Yes, fits that he became an Artist.

I had a conversation with a South African on Personality Cafe, and he also claimed the SA saeculum is out of sync with the UK/US one.

-- it's stuff like this which makes me wonder about S&H theory. If our saecula cycle derives from the British one, shouldn't that hold true 4 Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, & some other places the Brits went? We should all be in sync.

I think that we ARE all in synch. After World War Two we became one global society, and that process actually started in the 1890s when imperialism reached its climax.

You can see the commonalities among peoples now to an increasing degree on the cycle. Right now we see a typical 4T trend toward reaction, tyranny and racism all over the world. And I think the global movements especially among the young of rising people power will soon break through into a new progressive trend in the next decade.
