Aftermath

The Aftermath and Legacy explores how World War I did not truly end in 1918. From the Paris Peace Conference and the Treaty of Versailles to economic collapse, social trauma, rising extremism, colonial unrest, and the fragile path toward World War II, this volume reveals how the Great War reshaped nations, empires, memories, and the modern world. It is a powerful account of peace without healing, victory without stability, and a conflict whose consequences echoed across the entire twentieth century.
