Synopsis

This book is an investigation into the events that led to the first world war and explores the aftermath, dissecting the treaty of Versailles and its role in engendering the conditions that led to the second world war. The author traces the evolution of empires from the late 19th century onwards, beginning with the scramble for Africa, and places the growth of nationalism within this historical context. Additionally, the author gives attention to the role of popular culture, the media, and technology in shaping public opinion during these periods. This book is a timely examination of the origins of twentieth-century conflict, and its exploration of imperialism and nationalism offers unique insights into the nature of power and the consequences of war.
