Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World War: A History of the Nations and Empires Involved and a Study of the Events Culminating in the Great Conflict The greater part Of the remainder of the Volume is taken up with the story of the past century, beginning, in fact, rather more than a century ago with the meteoric career of Napoleon, and seeking to show to what this led, and what effects it had upon the political evolution Of mankind. The French Revolution stood midway between two epochs of history; and before the world-wide war Of 1914 had Opened our eyes to the survival of barbarity and inhumanity) in so-called culture and civilization, we should have held that those two epochs were that of mediaeval barbarism and that of modern enlightenment. The Revolution exploded like a bomb in the midst of the self-satisfied aristocracy of the earlier social system and rent it into fragments which no hand could put together again popular government replaced autocratic and aristocratic government in France, and the armies Of Napoleon spread those radical ideas throughout Europe until all Oppressed peoples began to look upward with hope and see in the distance before them a haven of justice in the coming realm of human rights.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World War: A History of the Nations and Empires Involved and a Study of the Events Culminating in the Great Conflict The year 1914 will stand out prominently in future history as the date of the most stupendous war in the history of mankind. In its special character, also, it may come to be regarded as the most atrocious of all wars, at least of all fought by civilized nations. Flashing, out suddenly like a bolt from the blue, unannounced, unexpected, unexplained, unprecedented in suddenness and enormity, it hurled nearly the whole of Europe within a week's time from a state of profound peace into one of continental war. The ringing of church bells was drowned by the roar of cannon, the voice of the dove of peace by the blare of the trump of war, and throughout the world ran a shudder of terror as these unwonted and ominous sounds greeted men's ears. But in looking back through history, tracing the course of events during the past century, following the footsteps of men in war and peace from that day of upheaval when medieval feudalism went down in disarray before the arms of the people in the French Revolution, some explanation of the great European war of 1914 may be reached. Every event in history has its roots somewhere in earlier history, and we need but dig deep enough to find them. Such is the purpose of the present work. It proposes to lay down in a series of apposite chapters the story of the past century, beginning, in fact, rather more than a century ago with the meteoric career of Napoleon and seeking to show to what it led, and what effects it had upon the political evolution of mankind.

This book was released on 2014-05-21 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""When the people of the United States heard the news of the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, and his wife in Sarajevo, Bosnia, on June 28, 1914, it was with a feeling of great regret that another sorrow had been added to the many already borne by the aged Emperor Francis Joseph. That those fatal shots would echo around the world and, flashing out suddenly like a bolt from the blue, hurl nearly the whole of Europe within a week's time from a state of profound peace into one of continental war, unannounced, unexpected, unexplained, unprecedented in suddenness and enormity, was an unimaginable possibility. And yet the ringing of the church bells was suddenly drowned by the roar of cannon, the voice of the dove of peace by the blare of the trump of war, and throughout the world ran a shudder of terror at these unwonted and ominous sounds.""

Book excerpt: The Great War is a landmark history that firmly places the First World War in the context of imperialism. Set to overturn conventional accounts of what happened during this, the first truly international conflict, it extends the study of the First World War beyond the confines of Europe and the Western Front. By recounting the experiences of people from the colonies especially those brought into the war effort either as volunteers or through conscription, John Morrow's magisterial work also unveils the impact of the war in Asia, India and Africa. From the origins of World War One to its bloody (and largely unknown) aftermath, The Great War is distinguished by its long chronological coverage, first person battle and home front accounts, its pan European and global emphasis and the integration of cultural considerations with political.

Book excerpt: The course of events of the Great War has been told many times, spurred by an endless desire to understand 'the war to end all wars'. However, this book moves beyond military narrative to offer a much fuller analysis of of the conflict's strategic, political, economic, social and cultural impact. Starting with the context and origins of the war, including assasination, misunderstanding and differing national war aims, it then covers the treacherous course of the conflict and its social consequences for both soldiers and civilians, for science and technology, for national politics and for pan-European revolution. The war left a long-term legacy for victors and vanquished alike. It created new frontiers, changed the balance of power and influenced the arts, national memory and political thought. The reach of this acount is global, showing how a conflict among European powers came to involve their colonial empires, and embraced Japan, China, the Ottoman Empire, Latin America and the United States.

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.
