November 19. On this date in 1919, 'Abdu'l-Bahá was asked whether World War I "was the war of Armageddon" to which he answered "Yes. What could be greater than this war? In this war all the people of the world took part." Shoghi Effendi in 1936 wrote of WWI that "every follower of the persecuted Faith of Bahá’u’lláh recognized evidences of the directing Hand of the departed Founder of his religion, Who, from the invisible Realm, was unloosing a flood of well-deserved calamities upon a rebellious religion and nation."
