Document sections illustrate key points and encourage students to read original sources A chronology provides an at-a-glance guide to key dates Who's Who section provides short bibliographies of major figures A guide to further reading ensures quality of students research, A masterly introduction to a key period in 20th Century History, this revised edition covers the interlude between WWI and WWII in Europe and the rest of the world., Written by R.J. Overy, this work provides an introduction to a key period in 20th century history examining the Russian Revolution, the Wall Street Crash and why the world slid into war once more in 1939. This edition also features a glossary, chronology and expanded bibliography., The inter-war years were, at the time, perceived to be years of crisis across the world. The First World War, 'the war to end all wars', had solved nothing and its legacy was a world full of unresolved disputes and manifest ambiguities. Overy examines the Russian Revolution and its aftermath, the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and the subsequent economic crisis which struck at the very foundations of the capitalist world, and seeks to explain why dictatorships came to supplant democracy in Italy, Spain, Germany, the Baltic States and the Balkans, and why the world slid into war once more in 1939.
