Description:https://archive.org/details/oldeurope...This book is a retrospect covering the period 1912- 1919. It begins with the first Balkan War, and ends with the Peace Conference at Paris.The title refers to the downfall of the Central Empires, which were the last strongholds of the aristocratictraditions of Old Europe, both from a social and a political point of view. It is submitted that these Empires perished prematurely through the suicidal folly of their ruling classes. Under wiser statesmanship, their autocratic governmental system might have survived another century. Germany and Austria-Hungary were prosperous States, and were assured of still greater prosperity if events had pursued their normal course. But pride, ambition, impatience and an overweening confidence in efficiency without idealism destroyed their plans. They put their faith in Force, mere brutal Force, and hoped to achieve more rapidly by conquest a commercial and political predominance which, by waiting a few years, they could have acquired without blood- shed. In the end, the military weapon they had forged became the instrument of their own destruction.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
