Book excerpt: Excerpt from The People's War Book: History, Cyclopaedia and Chronology of the Great World War In the days of our Grandfathers each country of the world was remote, no country was dependent upon any other, or the rest of the world, as we are today. The world is closely knitted together in this day and age. No Nation can be a recluse and live alone, so to speak. In the days gone by we have heard men say something like this: Let other countries have their quarrels and their wars. 'we can go on about our business regardless of them. Their troubles need not bother us a bit. The great world war, it is safe to say, has eradicated this provincial notion from the American people as well as from the people of all other nations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the World War: With Chronology of Important Events When, to the world peoples, the news was flashed of the Austrian tragedy of June. 28, 1914, there came no Warning that it was of dread import. The nations journeyed almost to the brink of war in ignorance of its nearness. In America especially, if, a week later, one thought of the fateful assassination at all, it was only as the latest of a long series of such happenings in an unhappy empire. In Europe, men made their usual commercial, political, personal plans for August and September, with no intimation that these plans would never be realized. Each nation had its prob lems at home and its differences abroad, but the settle ment of these problems did not call for the slaughter of the youth of the land. Europe was armed, but Europe had always been armed; there had been threats of war, just as there had always been threats, or worse. But in the last generation a strong sentiment for peace had spread. The more democratic nations had come to think of war between the great powers as a thing of the past. So it was that when every newspaper in the world carried the black news that the long threatened European war had begun and that nation after na tion was being hurled headlong into the conflict, the wide world gasped in utter surprise at the bare fact of it. The immensity of it dazed the nations; the wantonness of it angered them. A great outcry arose against war and against autocratic power that could, without warning, convulse civilization. A sword had hung over Europe for years before this, but it had dropped without causing a general con flict. It was not noticed that the sword had been hung up again. This sword was the Balkan question. For a generation it had been an axiom that the Bal kan states would one day be the cause of a general European war. The date of this war had been fore cast many times but each year saw the war clouds dissipate. To the world the Balkan states meant, not races of people, not personalities, but a problem that endangered the peace of western civilization. Their national aspirations were unheeded or used but as pawns of empire. Oppressed by Turkey, they were suppressed by European diplomats in the interests of their own safety.

This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young People's History, of the World War The lesson of the World War is a tremendous one. Summed up in a single sentence it is, It must never happen again. The morale of the men in the trenches, on the allied side, at least, was kept up through the weary years of struggle by the persistent propaganda that this was to be the last war, the war to end war. We are playing falsely with the nine million dead, - the flower of the young man hood of a dozen nations if we fail to keep before the minds of their young brothers the glorious story of their sacrifice and the awful needlessness of it all. If war is to be blotted off the face of the earth, each must do his bit. This small contribution is offered to swell the mighty and ever growing vol ume of demands that nations, like individuals, deal with each other openly, honorably, and without greed. When that day shall have come, the navies and armies of the world will have gone the way of the rapier, which every gentleman of the sixteenth century was obliged to carry, or the six - shooter, which took the place of courts and juries in the days of '49. While this volume is written for the understand ing of young people, it is the hope of the author that many older readers may find in his pages some thing to repay their time.

Download or read book In the World War Classic Reprint written by Czernin von Und Zu Chudenitz and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the World War IT is impossible in a small volume to write the history of the World War in even a partially exhaustive manner. Nor is that the Object of the book. Rather than to deal with generalities, its purpose is to describe separate events of which I had intimate knowledge, and individuals with whom I came into close contact and could, therefore, Observe closely; in fact, to furnish a series of snapshots of the great drama. By this means the following pages may possibly pre sent a conception of the war as a whole, which may, nevertheless, differ in many respects from the hitherto recorded, and possibly faulty, history of the war. Every one regards people and events from his own point of View; it is inevitable. In my book, I speak of men with whom I was in Close touch; of others who crossed my path without leaving any personal im pression on me; and finally, of men with whom I was Often in grave dispute. I endeavor to judge of them all in Objective fashion, but I have to describe people and things as I saw them. Wherever the description appears to be at fault, the reason will not be due to a prematurely formed opinion, but rather, probably, to a prevailing lack Of the capacity for judging. Not everything could be revealed. Much was not explained, although it could have been. Too short a period still separates us from those events to justify the lifting of the veil from all that happened. But what remains unspoken can in no way change the whole picture which I describe exactly as imprinted on my mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the World War: An Authentic Narrative of the World's Greatest War Y fellow countrymen: The armistice was signed this morning. Everything for which America fought has been accomplished. The war thus comes to an end. Speaking to the Congress and the people of the United States, President Wilson made this declaration on November 11, 1918. A few hours before he made this statement, Germany, the empire Of blood and iron, had agreed to an armistice, terms of which were the hardest and most humiliating ever imposed upon a nation of the first class. It was the end Of a war for which Germany had prepared for generations, a war bred of a philosophy that Might can take its toll of earth's possessions, of human lives and liberties, when and where it will. That philosophy involved the cession to imperial Germany Of the best years of young German manhood, the training of German youths to be killers of men. It involved the creation of a military caste, arrogant beyond all precedent, a caste that set its strength and pride against the righteousness of democracy, against the possession Of wealth and bodily comforts, a caste that visualized itself as part of a power-mad Kaiser's assumption that he and God were to shape the destinies of earth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of History, Vol. 17: The World's Greatest War It is perhaps, not an exaggeration to say that the two years following the outbreak of the Great War, brought about more fundamental and farreaching changes in the economic and social conditions in the United States than had been witnessed in the fifty years which had preceded the war. The foreign trade was at first disrupted and then completely recast; the revenue system was reorganized - government receipts and expenditures were no longer expressed in millions but in billions; government control of private business was indulged in on an unheard of scale; semi-socialistic measures, which would not have been dreamt of a decade before, were accepted without protest; new industries grew up like mushrooms in the night, money flowed into the country in unprecedented amounts. The nation changed from a debtor to a creditor country. Underlying all of these tremendous changes there was going on a fundamental recasting of the relations between capital and labor. Labor found itself more powerful than it had ever been before and it was not slow to wield this power. These changes were an eloquent commentary to the comfortable illusion of American isolation from the affairs of Europe. The First Effects Of The War Upon Business. The first reaction of the war upon the business interests of the country was certain to be unfavorable. The intricate mechanism of international trade was for the moment completely disrupted. American manufacturers found many of their accustomed foreign markets suddenly cut off. Shipping facilities were greatly curtailed by the transfer of merchant shipping to military uses. The European stock exchanges closed either immediately before or after the outbreak of hostilities. The London exchange closed on July 31 for the first time in its history, and left the New York Stock Exchange the only important exchange remaining open. Brokers were deluged with selling orders from abroad and a scene of confusion approaching panic resulted. To relieve the situation the governors determined to close the exchange temporarily. The rate of foreign exchange, at first, ran heavily against the United States, especially in England, due to the large amounts owed by American business interests. At one time the rate reached seven dollars to the pound sterling. It was not long, however, before the situation improved materially. Early in 1915, the Entente Allies began placing orders for large quantities of munitions and foodstuffs in the United States. A feeling of confidence was restored. Trading on the Stock Exchange was gradually resumed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
