Inhaltsangabe

This book offers a comparative guide to the political ideals & structures of the US, UK, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Belgium in the early 20th century. The author explains how the US system of government, with its focus on popular sovereignty, separation of powers, and checks and balances, differs from the parliamentary systems of the UK, France, and Italy, where the executive and legislative branches are fused. The author discusses the autocratic rule in Germany, where the emperor held supreme power, and the complex political landscape of Austria-Hungary, a dual monarchy composed of two sovereign states with their own constitutions and governments. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the differences between democratic and autocratic governments, especially in the context of World War I and the fight for global democracy. The insights in this book shed light on the ongoing struggle between these two political ideals.
