International Relations Between the Two World Wars, 1919-1939 Book by E. H. Carr (Vintage 1959 Hardcover)

E. H. Carr’s International Relations Between the Two World Wars, 1919-1939is a classic text that examines the diplomatic and political interactions between countries during the interwar period, from the end of World War I to the outbreak of World War II.

Carr argues that the Treaty of Versailles, which formally ended World War I, created a number of problems that sowed the seeds of another global conflict. These problems included the harsh reparations imposed on Germany, the redrawing of national boundaries that left many ethnic groups divided, and the rise of totalitarian regimes in Germany, Italy, and the Soviet Union.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the peace settlement after World War I, the second part focuses on the rise of fascism and the failure of collective security, and the third part examines the outbreak of World War II.

International Relations Between the Two World Wars is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the causes of World War II. It is a complex and challenging book, but it is also a very rewarding one.

Carr’s book is still relevant today, as it helps us to understand the importance of international cooperation and the dangers of nationalism and appeasement.
