Europe's Darkest Hour (1878-1923): Why World War I Broke Out and How to Rebuild After the War

Beginning with the signing of the Treaty of Berlin in 1878 and ending with the Ruhr Crisis in 1923, it details the important events in Europe's forty-five-year history, and provides an in-depth interpretation of the Balkan crisis, World War I, the Paris Peace Conference, the League of Nations, and Europe's failed post-war reconstruction. With deep emotions and rational thinking, the author depicts the greedy expansion of the European powers and their tendency to go to war. The victorious countries carried out humiliating and bone-crushing slaughter on the defeated countries. After the war, the European powers lost their rationality and fell into madness, thus plunging Europe into the darkest moments of viciousness.
