Epilogue: The "Post-War" and
Europe
's Mid-Century Crisis.
Summary:
"An account of the ethnic and state
violence
that followed the end of World War I - conflicts that would shape the course of the twentieth
century
. For the Western allies, November 11, 1918 has always been a solemn date - the end of fighting that had destroyed a generation, and also a vindication of a terrible sacrifice with the total collapse of the principal enemies: the German Empire, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. But for much of the rest of
Europe
this was a day with no meaning, as a nightmarish series of conflicts would soon engulf country after country. Robert Gerwarth asks us to think again about the true legacy of the First World War. In large part it was not the fighting on the Western Front that proved so ruinous to
Europe
's future, but the devastating aftermath, in which countries on both sides of the original conflict were savaged by revolutions, pogroms, mass expulsions, and further major military clashes. In the years immediately after the armistice, millions would die across central, eastern, and southeastern
Europe
before the Soviet Union and a series of rickety and exhausted small new states came into being. It was here, in the ruins of
Europe
, that extreme ideologies such as fascism would take shape and ultimately emerge triumphant. As absorbing in its drama as it is unsettling in its analysis, The Vanquished is destined to transform our understanding of not just the First World War but the twentieth
century
as a whole"--Provided by publisher.
