第一次世界大战：繁荣的幻灭
(uk)norman Stone
A popular introductory book on the "World War I", a classic work by an Oxford University professor and consultant to the Thatcher government, it provides a clear picture of the "World War I" in more than 200 pages. Entering the 20th century, the great development of science and technology has led politicians, intellectuals, and ordinary people to believe that the world is progressing and science will save mankind. "World War I" emerged from such prosperity and progress. The civil war in Europe, the leader of world civilization, continued, and then evolved into a world war. Facts have proven that the apparent prosperity is nothing more than an illusion. After the war broke out, another illusion people had was that the war would be short-lived. However, the Battle of the Marne in 1914 burst the bubble of illusion, and people began to understand the power of real modern warfare. Tens of millions of people died, four empires were destroyed, and even the victorious nations were severely damaged. "World War I" forcibly dragged mankind from the 19th century into the 20th century. Europe in 1914 was like a colossus that everyone admired. Four years later, the continent faced catastrophic fragmentation from economy to society, from life to dreams. In this book, Norman Stone changed his professional writing style of history, which was mainly based on analysis, to focus on narrative, interspersed with novel and unique insights, deeply interpreting the complex relationships that affected the entire European countries in the 20th century, truly and concretely portraying the center of the past civilization, and concisely and powerfully outlining the "World War I", a major and complex topic in the 20th century.
