Sobre IBD

German violation of Belgian neutrality escalated the 1914 hostilities into a world war, and disagreement about Belgium’s future did much to block a compromise peace. In the postwar decade, Belgium’s role as intermediary between France and Britain was pivotal, and its primary concerns reveal mush about postwar Europe’s search for stability. Yet, at the Paris Peace Conference, Belgium emerged with little to show for its suffering.Originally published 1981.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.

  • The Ebbing of European Ascendancy
    Sally Marks
    In a space of little over 30 years, the world was transformed. The European great powers were no longer ascendant, even if that was not yet fully revealed to them, and the US, a regional power as of 1914, now belonged to the wholly new category of 'superpower.' What happened in this short period to work such a dramatic change? The answer lies neither in Europe alone nor in the ...
