1913，一战前的世界
(uk) Charles Emerson
The First World War broke out in 1914, so 1913 was the last year before the war changed the whole of Europe and even the whole world. In this book, the author liberates 1913 from the narrative logic of "the prelude to World War I" and explores what the world was like in 1913 from a more objective perspective. From European cities to rising American cities to imperial capitals in Asia and Africa, the author shows us a world full of possibilities. In fact, the world in 1913 was more modern, globalized, and closer to today's world than we imagined.
