Moreover, anyone interested in modern international history must reflect on the European and global events and processes that took place during the turbulent decades between 1914 and 1945 and, in particular, on their interconnections. What exactly are the lessons of this his- tory? Judging from the consequences of the two world wars, it is reasonable to conclude that major modern wars seldom bring lasting peace, that the enmities, brutalization, and mobi- lization of one conflagration can easily trigger another. And even when a war comes to an end, the structures, mentalities, and worldviews it produced are not easily dismantled. As the European interwar period demonstrates, major wars bring painful, revanchist memories with them; and these, in turn, can foster the kinds of internal and international conditions that lead to further conflict. -- That democratic states do not start wars is a lesson that can be substantiated by both world wars.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Can lessons of history develop our orientation in time Few scholars have responded positively to this challenge.
