| Summary/Abstract |
One hundred years ago, the world unknowingly was months away from stumbling into the most violent era of war and political upheaval ever seen. It was a geopolitical and human disaster that lasted for decades-world wars, collapsed empires, communist revolution, economic depression, fascism, totalitarianism, genocide, atomic weapons, and the existential terror of the Cold War. As many as 200 million people lost their lives in this era to violence and deprivation. Hatred, insecurity, and despotism
proliferated on a global scale.
