The First World War = trauma of the Twentieth century /
Unterseher, Lutz.

The First World Wartrauma of the Twentieth century /[electronic resource] :by Lutz Unterseher. - Wiesbaden :Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden :2022. - xi, 96 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Instead of an introduction: the self-fulfilling prophecy -- Before the war: powers and machinations -- Major theaters: An overview -- Technology, tactics, war picture: victory of the defensive -- Perspective: ways to save the war -- Material battle: effect on soul and spirit -- Aftermath: Reshaping the world.

Right up to the war, Europe's power elites were driven: motivated by chauvinistic demands, a spirit of aggression and hopes for a quick victory. Although this study clearly identifies the tendencies that led to disaster, it refrains from turning the investigation of the causes into a court case. Thus the traumatizing events themselves are the focus of attention - with their scenes and developments. From trench warfare, the stalemate of defensive fire, to the birth of a new war of movement - from the bankruptcy of war to its revival. And it also looks at the consequences of the carnage: First, the effects on the human soul, as revealed in war neuroses and literary testimonies. On the other hand, the political consequences from which humanity suffers to this day. The content In lieu of an introduction: the self-fulfilling prophecy - Before the war: powers and machinations - Major theaters: An overview - Technology, tactics, the war picture: victory of the defensive - Perspective: ways to save the war - Material battle: effect on soul and spirit - Aftermath: Reshaping the World The target groups - historians - political scientists - armed forces personnel The author PD Dr. Lutz Unterseher, sociologist and political scientist, has worked in empirical social research and in an international context as a consultant on defence issues. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com) A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
