A Pathbreaking Account Of The Continuing Ethnic And State Violence After The End Of Wwi--conflicts That More Than Anything Else Set The Stage For Wwii--provided By Publisher. An Epic, Groundbreaking 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, But 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 Continuing, Nightmarish Series Of Conflicts Engulfed Country After Country.
