(In the decades between the World Wars, the global power s...)
In the decades between the World Wars, the global power structure was transformed. The once great European powers were no longer ascendant, even if they had not yet acknowledged it, and the U.S., a regional power as of 1914, now belonged to a new category: "superpower." What happened in this short period to usher in such a dramatic change? The Ebbing of European Ascendancy explores the crucial factors, including the international history of the period in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America, as single interlocking whole to clearly examine one of the most dramatic, worldwide power shifts in the last century.

(Sally Marks' compelling analysis of European diplomacy be...)
Sally Marks' compelling analysis of European diplomacy between World War I and Hitler's advent, explores the reasons why a lasting peace failed to occur in the interwar era. Building on the theories of the first edition, Marks argues that the Allied failure to bring defeat home to the German people, and the consequences of this oversight, were partly to blame, and reassesses Europe's leaders and the policies of the powers. Thoroughly revised and updated in the light of recent scholarly and documentary research, the second edition of this highly successful text also includes new material, maps, and an extended bibliography.

(German violation of Belgian neutrality escalated the 1914...)
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.
