In 1900 the great European Empires stood prosperous and strong in the centre of the world stage, surrounded by an aura of glamour and optimism.By 1945 the old order had changed completely- Germany had fought Britain, France and Russia in two prolonged and wasteful wars; and at the end of the perod much of the influence of Europe in world affairs had been transferred to the United States and the Soviet Union.Martin Gilbert analyses these dramatic changes and seeks to show some of the important factors which led to Germany’s double aggression and defeat, with the consequent weakening of the major European powers and the shedding or loss of their colonial empires.Martin Gilbert gives the reader a clear and vivid account of a turbulent and dramatic period of European History.
