Description
The First World War was an industrialised mass war. The longer it lasted, the more it changed the societies that fought it, and the more rapidly it devalued the knowledge of politicians. How was it to be ended? Masterfully and with an eye for the global context, Jörn Leonhard tells how the world struggled for a new peace order between 1918 and 1923 and what this turning point in time meant for the further course of the 20th century.
In doing so, the lofty expectations and the sometimes contradictory promises become just as clear as the crushing problems in implementing them and the differences between the assumptions in Paris and the realities on the ground. Whether in terms of declining empires and new states, ethnic minorities or the new mass phenomenon of flight and expulsion: the way the war ended created disappointments and conflicts that were to shape the 20th century and whose offshoots reach into our present day.
