For those interested in history, the year 1917 appears today as one of the great turning points of the last two centuries. The beginning and end of the war fade into the background. While until 1916 the First World War was still a conflict between the European powers alone, this changed fundamentally in the penultimate year of the war. In this gripping book, the author creates an impressive panorama of a dramatic year, which gives an idea of the catastrophe of a century. the catastrophe of a century, but also hints at the beginning of the present with moving strokes.
On the one hand, the resumption of unrestricted submarine warfare in February 1917 led to the USA entering the war on the side of the Entente. On the other hand both certain US forces and the Supreme German Army Command supported the two Russian revolutions and the associated overthrow of Tsarist rule, albeit for completely different motives.
