In June 2016, the United Kingdom announced its departure from the European Union. This event set off a global upsurge of research and discussion on Europe. From World War I to the founding of the European Union, Mark Mazoll examines Europe in the 20th century from a new perspective and develops incisive analysis. "Dark Continent" delves into 100 of the continent's bloodiest and most violent years. Following in Mazoor's footsteps, we will discover a real Europe that has always been trapped between two evenly matched forces: acceptance of aliens on one side and racial discrimination on the other; imperialist ambitions on the other and calls for national self-determination on the other. At the same time, Europe has always been caught between left and right, freedom and tyranny. The "Western values" such as democracy, freedom, and civil rights that Western societies have long pursued originated in Europe. "Dark Continent" leads us to search for the source of this value, and at the same time we are constantly thinking and asking: How is this value reflected today after several generations of battles? What's left? In Mazower's writing, Europe is not the home of democracy and freedom, but a laboratory of social and political engineering. Europe was constantly reborn and reshaped through wars, revolutions, and ideological battles, and the process was often shocking. "Dark Continent" has vivid writing and bold arguments. It not only details the historical changes in Europe over the past century, but also provides reference and inspiration for China in the current transition period. It is known as "a beautiful European history book".
