    Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Irish Question 1912-1914' provides a comprehensive scholarly examination of a critical juncture in the political history of the United Kingdom and Ireland. The work focuses on the intense debates surrounding the Third Home Rule Bill and the escalating tensions that threatened to plunge the region into civil war. Through a rigorous historical lens, F. Lee Benns, Ph.D., analyzes the parliamentary struggles, the emergence of militant volunteer forces, and the complex interactions between British political parties and Irish leadership during these pivotal years.The narrative details the strategies of key figures and the profound ideological divisions between nationalists seeking self-governance and unionists determined to maintain the legislative union. By investigating the social and political atmosphere of 1912 to 1914, the text clarifies how domestic crises were suspended by the onset of World War I, yet remained fundamental to the future of Irish sovereignty. This volume is an invaluable resource for understanding the roots of modern Irish-British relations and the historical complexities of the Irish independence movement.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

    Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Europe Since 1914' offers a comprehensive and scholarly examination of the transformative events that reshaped the European continent during the early twentieth century. Beginning with the cataclysmic outbreak of World War I, the work meticulously traces the military conflicts, diplomatic negotiations, and social upheavals that defined this era. The narrative explores the collapse of great empires, the drafting of the Treaty of Versailles, and the subsequent emergence of new nation-states.Deeply rooted in the geopolitical realities of its time, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the interwar years, focusing on the rise of new political ideologies, the establishment of the League of Nations, and the persistent economic challenges facing post-war societies. F. Lee Benns provides a lucid account of the international relations and internal domestic struggles that characterized major powers such as Great Britain, France, Germany, and Russia. By chronicling the transition from total war to an uneasy peace, 'Europe Since 1914' serves as an essential historical record for understanding the foundational tensions and aspirations of modern Europe. This work remains a significant resource for students and historians interested in the diplomatic and social evolution of the continent during a period of unprecedented change.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

A complete and fine set of a scarce collection. This set provides a unique snapshot into the world's history and into the thinking of American veterans at the end of the first World War, optimistically thought to be the "war to end all war." Its objective of understanding America's role in a turbulent world is particularly timely. This thorough collection is not only for those who love beautifully wrought books, but also for those interested in history, war, peace, and in remembering those who sacrifice in times of strife. These 10 volumes tell the history of the world-ancient, medieval, and modern-and the history of the United States though the end of the first great World War. In addition to text, the set tells its story via thousands of black and white and color photographs and illustrations, and via hundreds of maps and charts, many color fold-outs. From the foreword: "…we have emerged from a world war, fought on our part to determine whether this nation, or any nation, may choose its way in peace. Five million Americans were called to the colors, and two million went overseas. Fifty thousand remain there forever. With the shock of this titanic conflict fresh in our experience, we now seek to understand its causes. Whether or not we may desire it, our interests have been drawn beyond America to the common problems of mankind. We are realizing that to comprehend the history of the United States one must know the history of the world. To promote, then, the intelligent civic insight that is one of the highest attributes of Americanism, this survey of the world's past has been prepared." From the website of the Disabled American Veterans organization (nee Disabled American Veterans of the World War), explaining its origins: "When the troops came home from World War I, some 300,000 carried grim reminders of war: disabling injuries, battle scars, gas-seared lungs, and prolonged illnesses. Following a tumultuous hero's welcome, America wiped the horror of war from its mind almost as quickly as the ticker tape was swept from the streets of New York City. As a result, the needs of the nation's disabled heroes were swept aside as well. Prejudice kept capable and qualified-but disabled-veterans from gaining employment in a job market with few enough opportunities to offer anyone. Veterans' benefits programs were administered by three separate government agencies with conflicting and overlapping responsibilities, leaving disabled veterans with massive confusion and red tape. Without a medical system dedicated to their needs, many disabled veterans found themselves sleeping on cots-or even on floors-in the halls of America's overwhelmed hospitals. Some just gave up the struggle, sitting on street corners with tin cups and signs reading: "Help Me. I'm a Disabled Veteran." Angered by the negligence and incompetence of the federal government in dealing with their problems, disabled veterans began forming local self-help groups in cities across America. In 1920, leaders from 250 of these groups gathered in Cincinnati, Ohio. Under the charismatic leadership of Judge Robert S. Marx, himself a veteran disabled in France, they federated into.
