牛津第一次世界大战史
(uk) Hugh Strohn
On June 28, 1914, Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, was assassinated in Sarajevo. At this time, Europeans had enjoyed 100 years of peace after the Napoleonic Wars. No one in Europe, which had lost its sense of crisis in its comfort, realized that this little-noticed assassination would trigger a war sweeping 33 countries around the world and affecting a population of 1.5 Billion a month later. This is the first real "world war" in human history. On the tangible battlefield, the flames of war burned from Europe to Asia and Africa, from the land to the sky and the sea; on the invisible battlefield, the flames of war ignited the long-standing comprehensive social contradictions of gender, race, class, etc.: Women fought for rights - tens of millions of women walked out of the kitchen and rushed to factories and field hospitals... Open this book and you will see a panoramic World War I epic: not just a battle of killing, but also a battle for women's equality, a battle for colonial awakening, and a battle for the liberation of new ideas!
