WHY WERE THEY CONFUSED ABOUT THE CLAIMS OF THEIR GRANDFATHER ABOUT THE WAR ?✔

❎SPAMMERS STAY AWAY❎​

Answer 1

In the poem ‘After Blenheim’, old Kaspar claimed the Battle of Blenheim which caused great destruction and loss of lives to be a ‘great victory’. Actually Kaspar’s view was the typical one among the common people affected by the propaganda of warmongers.

But on the other hand Kaspar’s grandchildren Peterkin and Wilhelmine were ‘little’ and ‘young’. That highlights their innocence and the ability to raise questions. The propaganda of heroism and false patriotism through war was not yet indoctrinated in them. That is why they could find no real reason in calling a war ‘great’ in any sense.

Answer 2

A grandfather clause (or grandfather policyor grandfathering) is a provision in which an old rule continues to apply to some existing situations while a new rule will apply to all future cases. Those exempt from the new rule are said to have grandfather rights or acquired rights, or to have been grandfathered in. Frequently, the exemption is limited; it may extend for a set time, or it may be lost under certain circumstances. For example, a "grandfathered power plant" might be exempt from new, more restrictive pollution laws, but the exception may be revoked and the new rules would apply if the plant were expanded. Often, such a provision is used as a compromise or out of practicality, to allow new rules to be enacted without upsetting a well-established logistical or politicalsituation. This extends the idea of a rule not being retroactively applied.
