The book ''The World War And What Was Behind It'' written by Louis P. Benezet is a comprehensive analysis of the causes and events leading up to World War I. The author examines the political, economic, and social factors that contributed to the outbreak of the war, including the arms race, imperialism, nationalism, and alliances. He also provides a detailed account of the major battles and military strategies employed during the war. In addition, Benezet explores the impact of the war on society, including the role of women, the rise of propaganda, and the effects of the war on the global economy. He analyzes the Treaty of Versailles and its impact on the post-war world, including the rise of totalitarian regimes and the eventual outbreak of World War II. Overall, ''The World War And What Was Behind It'' is a thought-provoking and insightful examination of one of the most significant events in modern history. It is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the causes and consequences of World War I.Frederick the Great, regretting the fact that he was separated from his land in East Prussia by the county of West Prussia, which was part of Poland, proposed to his old enemy, Maria Theresa of Austria, and to the Empress Catharine II of Russia that they each take a slice of Poland. This was accordingly done, in the year 1772. Poor Poland was unable to resist the three great powers around her, and the other kings of Europe, who had been greedily annexing land wherever they could get it, stood by without a protest.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
