   No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.   ) apende | Jul 12, 2022 |  A detailed analysis of the politics and economics from the middle of WWI until the fateful events of 1931 steered central Europe toward totalitarianism and made WWII inevitable. The author makes the perceptive observation how everything at this time gravitated around the United States and the policies it would pursue. The Entente was completely dependent on US finances and materiel; the central European powers understood how the United States would become a significant threat to their positions of power in the 20th century. The United States had no problem using their standing for their political and economic benefit, but did not exactly see itself as responsible for the world order. They wanted to promote some kinds of democracy in places like Europe; less so in Asia. It is fascinating to read about the various postures of Britain, France, and Germany, especially how there could have been a real future for the Weimar Republic if it hadn't been for a lot of the decisions made by the Entente. France is interested in its future survival; Britain, about its power. We all know how it all turned out. Very important analysis. Highly recommended. (  ) deusvitae | Jun 15, 2022 | Tooze heldur því ennfremur fram að andstætt því sem oft hefur verið haldið fram um reynsluleysi og hálfvitahátt Wilsons Bandaríkjaforseta í utanríkismálum þá vann hann stöðugt að því að sætta Evrópuþjóðirnar við stríð án sigurs - sem þýddi í raun að þær stæðu uppi sem örmagna stríðsþjóðir án nokkurra kjarabóta eftir stríðið án þess að BNA þyrfti nokkru sinni að taka þátt. Þetta breyttist þó þegar hann neyddist til að segja Þjóðverjum stríð á hendur. Vel rannsökuð, framsett og fróðleg kenning hjá Tooze.

"A searing and highly original analysis of the First World War and its anguished aftermath. In the depths of the Great War, with millions dead and no imaginable end to the conflict, societies around the world began to buckle. The heart of the financial system shifted from London to New York. The infinite demands for men and materiel reached into countries far from the front. The strain of the war ravaged all economic and political assumptions, bringing unheard-of changes in the social and industrial order. A century after the outbreak of fighting, Adam Tooze revisits this seismic moment in history, challenging the existing narrative of the war, its peace, and its aftereffects. From the day the United States enters the war in 1917 to the precipice of global financial ruin, Tooze delineates the world remade by American economic and military power. Tracing the ways in which countries came to terms with America's centrality--including the slide into fascism--The Deluge is a chilling work of great originality that will fundamentally change how we view the legacy of World War I"--
"A century after the outbreak of the First World War, a powerful explanation of why the war's legacy continues to shape our world. The war would make a celebrity out of Woodrow Wilson and would ratify the emergence of the US as the dominant force in the world economy"-- No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
