Known as the "Island of Love", "Island of Saints" and "Island of Copper", the small country of Cyprus has a history that is disproportionate to its region. It has experienced successive occupations by the Assyrians, Egyptians, Persians, Alexander the Great, the Ptolemaic Dynasty of Egypt, the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, Richard the Lionheart, the French, Venetians, the Ottoman Empire and British colonial rule. Shortly after independence in 1960, conflicts between the Greek and Turkish communities resumed. In 1974, Turkish armed intervention led to the division of the two communities into the north and the south. The reconciliation talks between the two communities mediated by the international community have failed to resolve, and the situation of division remains. In May 2004, the Greek-controlled Republic of Cyprus in the south unilaterally joined the EU, while the "Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus" in the north is still recognized only by Turkey.

How one politician, Hitler, and one nation, the Germans, could completely change the face of an entire continent remains a mystery, but Germany's power is actually more limited than is generally recognized. Take the Jews as an example. Without the enthusiastic cooperation of many non-German Europeans, the Nazis would not have been able to achieve the final level of purges. On the contrary, without the resistance of many non-German Europeans, the survival of so many Jews would be unimaginable. Regarding the German Nazis, during World War II in Europe, national governments, local institutions, and individuals from different social classes all chose passive compliance, active cooperation, or resistance at different times. In this book, acclaimed historian Istvan Dick explores cooperation, resistance, and revenge during the Second World War. The author examines these three themes through the experiences of countries and peoples under German occupation and under Soviet, Italian, and other military rule. They faced many moral and ethical dilemmas. Should they cooperate with the occupiers, remain neutral in the war and survive, or risk their lives as resisters? Most people chose all three scenarios based on the different circumstances of the war at different times. The author discusses the purge of actual or suspected war criminals and wartime collaborators in the aftermath of the brutal war, primarily through a variety of violence, deportations, and judicial trials before the Nuremberg International Tribunal and numerous other local tribunals. This book is intended to help us understand the moral causes and consequences of wartime and postwar times.

"Making Peace: The 1919 Paris Peace Conference and the Post-War World It Opened (Great Power Diplomacy Trilogy)" returns to the diplomatic scene of the 20th century and witnesses the struggle of great powers that gave birth to a new order in the century of war. Oxford University professor and Johnson Prize winner vividly relives the Paris Peace Conference and looks at the sketches of today's world drawn by heads of state a century ago. An earth-shaking war, an unprecedented peace effort, a war that ended war, a peace that ended peace. International relations historian Margaret Macmillan uses a novelistic style and relies on massive documents to present the true history of the Paris Peace Conference. Macmillan uses rich details and poignant writing to show us a group portrait of the peacemakers, vividly expressing their personalities, ideals and prejudices, and is not merciless to her great-grandfather Lloyd George. She told us that the Paris Peace Conference was not only the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations that were criticized by the world, but the outbreak of World War II in 1939 should not be attributed to them either. However, the participants are not exempt from the blame for their poor decision-making. They originally wanted to create peace, but instead planted the seeds for larger-scale wars and more conflicts.

Joachim Feist, the author of "The Last Fourteen Days of the Third Reich", is a German historian and a respected authority on Nazi Germany. He is known as a person who "knows Hitler better than Hitler himself." After collecting, combing, and screening a large number of historical materials (including many brand-new first-hand materials), Feist describes what happened in the last 14 days of Hitler and his Third Reich's demise after they were besieged by the Soviet Red Army in 1945. In a way that is close to the psychology of historical figures, he presents the war situation, the last resistance of the Nazis, the apocalyptic life in the underground bomb shelter of the Reich Chancellery, the wedding of Hitler and Eva Braun, and the process of how both of them committed suicide in the end. In addition to the four narrative chapters, four reflective chapters are also used to discuss how "a country in an extreme state" was involved in the whirlpool of history. The last 14 days of the Third Reich were also the last 14 days of Hitler. Through these 14 days, the causes and consequences of the entire World War II are refracted and revealed, making this book a classic masterpiece.

In 49 BC, Caesar led the Gallic legions across the Rubicon River and returned to Rome, pushing the 460-year-old Roman Republic into the abyss of civil war. The Rubicon is a dividing river. According to the laws of the Roman Republic, any general was not allowed to lead his army across the Rubicon, otherwise he would be considered a treason. In the 1st century BC, it was in front of this small river that Caesar made the decision to rebel. Why did Caesar, who was at the top of power, do this? What made him determined to leave the glory of the Republic behind when he hesitated on the banks of the Rubicon? Where will Rome go under Caesar? How will the world outside Rome change? "Rubicon" tells us the decline of the Roman Republic through the incident of Caesar crossing the Rubicon. Since the establishment of the Republic in 509 BC, Rome has expanded rapidly after several conquests. By the 1st century BC, it had transformed from a small city-state into a world empire. The republic was unsustainable, and Rome would usher in a drastic social change. The book focuses on describing the social conditions of class antagonism and contradictions in the Republic before the advent of change. The dazzling stars in Roman history also appeared one after another during this period. The three Roman giants who competed for dictatorial privileges, Cicero and Cato who adhered to the concept of the Republic, and Spartacus who launched a slave uprising... Together they performed the bloody process of the decline of the Roman Republic, and sketched a portrait of the late Republic full of sacrifice, betrayal, disaster, intrigue and unlimited ambition. In the 5th century BC, Persia was determined to conquer Greece westward, and the eastern and western worlds fell into war. Persia was an unprecedentedly powerful super empire in the world at that time, with a mighty iron cavalry and the ability to destroy countless enemies. Starting from Cyrus, the "King of the Universe", in just one generation, Persia swept across the entire Middle East and established a huge country extending from India to Egypt. Greece is located on the Aegean coast. It is barren and weak, with many city-states, and its territory is not as large as a small province in Persia. In the eyes of the Persians, Greece is a group of rogue countries, and Persia should bring them truth and order; in the eyes of the Greeks, Persia is an unreasonable barbarian, and the Greeks have the blood of "cannot be enslaved" flowing in their bones. There are insurmountable differences between the two civilizations. Differences create doubts, and doubts lead to war. "Persian War: The First World Empire and its Western Expedition" tells the story of the causes and consequences of the Persian War and the entire process, from the Persian emperor who was proficient in power and the Greek city-states who were keen on infighting, to the Spartan warriors with militarized and perverted management, and the Athenian politicians who flaunted good government, writing a majestic epic full of wildness. The highlight of the book is the restoration of the thrilling and fierce battle scenes between the two sides. Whether it is the encounter between the two sides on the Plains of Marathon in 490 BC; or the bloody battle between 300 Spartan warriors against Xerxes, the "King of Kings" at the Thermopylae; or the naval battle of Salamis, in which 1,200 Persian warships were completely defeated by 300 Athenian warships... Every scene is depicted as vividly as if the reader was on an ancient battlefield and saw it with his own eyes through armor. As the first international contest across Europe and Asia in the classical world, the Persian War marked the beginning of thousands of years of conflict between Eastern and Western civilizations. "Persian War: The First World Empire and its Western Expedition" reproduces this civilizational struggle in the classical world from a new perspective. For readers who want to understand this period of history, this book is a highly anticipated introductory book. 1. From the 400-year struggle of the British Navy, tell the rise of the British Empire and how it changed the modern world. A primer on the rise and fall of sea power and civilization.

Take history as a mirror and reflect on how marine civilization changed the modern world order. Britain is one of the representative countries of maritime civilization. The rise of the British Empire and the formation of the modern world have been deeply marked by maritime civilization. Traditional China has always adhered to a closed agricultural civilization, and has long been isolated and lagging behind the modern world dominated by maritime civilization. How to bridge the gap between agricultural civilization and marine civilization? Is it to reconstruct modern society in the way of marine civilization? Or seek the unity of agricultural civilization and marine civilization? In today's society, each of us should reflect on these issues. 3.

In 1588, the British Royal Navy defeated the Spanish Armada. This victory created a legend. In the next few hundred years, the wealth, power and glory of the empire would be born in the ocean.

"Empire of the Sea" takes the 400-year development history of the British Navy as the main line and tells the story of the rise of the British Empire and how it affected the rise and fall of modern civilization. The book is divided into four chapters, "Heart of Oak", "Golden Ocean", "Wind and Surge", and "Great Changes in the Ocean", one by one showing Britain's journey from controlling the lifeline of maritime traffic to establishing a global maritime empire, which ultimately led to a crisis in global civilization. Readers can explore the following history from the book: How did the Royal Navy develop from a ragtag group engaged in maritime plunder to a world policeman maintaining "peace under the British Empire"? From the 16th to the 18th century, how did Britain defeat almost all maritime powers in Europe and create a maritime legend of dominating the world? The pirate Drake, Prime Minister William Pitt Jr., Lord Admiralty Fisher and Churchill... What impact did the naval reforms they carried out have on the British political, economic and cultural systems? Britain became the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and shaped modern capitalist civilization. What are the intrinsic connections between these and the Royal Navy? Why did Britain and Germany engage in a naval arms race, and how did British maritime hegemony go from its peak to its decline?

It takes readers into the ancient Roman arena, medieval dungeons, the Inquisition, the Inquisition, witch trials and the most brutal prisons.

This is America's overlooked "sub-revolution." In 1776, in order to resist the British and strive for independence, the thirteen states of the United States formed an alliance. The overthrow of the British colonial rulers in 1783 allowed the United States to win precious independence and freedom. However, at this time, it was still difficult for the United States to become a country worthy of the name. After the victory in the War of Independence, deep divisions between states in the country also emerged. Looking at these local powers that were doing their own thing from the perspective of that time, no one was sure whether there would be a country called "the United States" in the future. In the years after independence, the United States gradually lost control in an atmosphere of victory. No country is willing to pay for the foreign debts owed during the war; countries that disagree with the treaties negotiated with foreign countries refuse to implement them. In terms of international reputation, the United States quickly fell from the revolutionary light of mankind to a country with ruined credibility. In addition, there were differences such as western land interests, slavery, pro-French and pro-British differences, etc., Which pushed the United States to the brink of division in the early days of independence. Some optimistic British politicians even waited for the American states to fight in their nests, and then begged to return to the embrace of the British Empire. In this almost hopeless situation, it was indeed a political miracle that the American Revolution could succeed and establish a solid national foundation. The book "Creating the Republic" will spell out the full picture of this miracle for you: the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention in 1787, the "Federalist Papers", Washington, Madison, the father of the U. S. Constitution, Hamilton, the father of finance... These people and events are remembered because they formed the country and national identity of the United States at that critical moment.

"The History of the Founding of the United States Series (set of 3 volumes)" includes three books: "American Genesis: Triumphs and Tragedies in the Founding of the Nation, 1775-1803", "Jefferson: The American Sphinx" and "Creating the Republic: The Birth of the United States of America, 1783-1789". It vividly displays the founding history of the United States from aspects such as leaders and the Declaration of Human Rights, and depicts how it rapidly grew from an emerging immigrant country to a superpower.
