| Outline and Purpose of the Course | The First World War was the foundational moment of the modern world. A vital question to be inquired next is: what kind of modern world emerged out of ashes brought about by the First World War? In tackling the question, the thoroughgoing reconsideration of the Second World War, another global convulsion within twenty years since the end of the first, is nothing but indispensable. This lecture attempts to portray a fresh and updated overall picture of this traumatic catastrophe. | |||
