War Chronicles 003: the Last Crusade

About This Novel

This book consists of "The Last Crusade: The Battle of Nicopolis in 1396", "Sekigahara of the Eastern Kingdom: An Exploration of the Battle of Keicho Idewa", "The Young Voices of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets: A Brief Analysis of the Battle of Blenheim", "The Powder Keg That Detonated the World: The Balkan War Before World War I", "World War I in China: A Record of the 1914 Japanese-German Battle of Qingdao" and the war literature "The End of the Taiping Army". In 1396, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Kingdom of France, the Knights Hospitaller, the Republic of Venice and knight elites from all over Europe formed a powerful Crusade and launched a magnificent east-west war with the Turkish Ottoman Empire. In 1600 AD, the Sekigahara War determined Japan's ownership of the world since the Warring States Period, but the prologue of this battle began with Tokugawa Ieyasu's crusade against Uesugi Kagekatsu. What is puzzling is that Uesugi Kagekatsu did not participate in the Sekigahara War, which decided who belonged to Japan. What made Uesugi Kagekatsu so reckless of the general trend of the world? There was a war that not only brought to naught the plan of Louis XIV, the "Sun King" of France, to dominate Europe, but also set Britain on the glorious journey of the "empire on which the sun never sets". What kind of war was it? The Balkans triggered World War I, and it was the Balkans that caused great changes in the world structure, but why did the Balkans become such a huge problem? World War I is very unfamiliar to the Chinese, and compared with the Anti-Japanese War, it seems to be something that happened in another world. However, the large-scale battles in the Far East during the "World War I" were fought on Chinese soil; the Taiping Rebellion was something that could not be ignored in the late Qing Dynasty. No matter what the controversy, there were always a few loyal ministers who performed this desolate tragic ending.
