I was considering unleavened bread to be an early form of bread. Subsequent breads being mere novelties.

Yes, a thoroughly unpleasant, and certainly bloody, collection. However, conservatives (the European Monarchies) were responsible for invading France. This gave rise to conscription - a contributing factor to the Vendée - and provided a launch pad for Napoleon's career. Their support for counter revolutionaries provided the 'rationale' for the Terror. Similar actions followed the Russian Revolution. Also, Fascism (and, by extension, Nazism) was supported by conservatives who saw it as a bulwark against the spread of Communism. This, combined with the war-weariness of Britain and France, contributed to the international inertia as Hitler continually violated the Treaty of Versailles. Blood may be on one's hands literally or figuratively.
