Dark Continent: Europe in the 20th Century

About This Novel

A mashup lab for social and political engineering. Comprehensive discussion of Europe's difficult journey in the 20th century. Mark Mazoll debunks the myth of liberal democracy and explores 100 years of entangled, twisted, violent, torn and reorganized European history. On one side is the acceptance of foreign races, on the other side is racial discrimination; on the other side is the ambition of imperialism, on the other side is the call for national self-determination; on the other side is freedom and democracy, and on the other side is dictatorship and tyranny. Europe has always been trapped between two evenly matched forces, constantly being torn, broken, spliced, and pasted. This book leads us to explore the origins of values ​​such as "freedom, democracy, and civil rights" that Western societies have long upheld. At the same time, it also constantly asks: How are these value systems reflected today after hundreds of years of war, division, conflict, opposition, and unity? What's left? In Mazoor's writing, Europe is not the birthplace of democracy and freedom, but the laboratory and racecourse of various ideological factions, interest groups and political forces. Wars, revolutions and ideological battles for interests have led to Europe's constant rebirth and reinvention, and the process is often shocking.
