The First World War: Trauma of the Twentieth Century

di Lutz Unterseher (Autore)

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden, 2022

Right up to the war, Europe's power elites were driven: motivated by chauvinistic demands, a spirit of aggression and hopes for a quick victory. Although this study clearly identifies the tendencies that led to disaster, it refrains from turning the investigation of the causes into a court case. Thus the traumatizing events themselves are the focus of attention - with their scenes and developments. From trench warfare, the stalemate of defensive fire, to the birth of a new war of movement - from the bankruptcy of war to its revival. And it also looks at the consequences of the carnage: First, the effects on the human soul, as revealed in war neuroses and literary testimonies. On the other hand, the political consequences from which humanity suffers to this day.
