Why did the European continent, which had dominated the world for 300 years, suddenly plunge into an unprecedentedly large-scale war due to a small act of terrorism? Why did thousands of years of cultural accumulation, the relentless pursuit of generations, and a vibrant free order turn into a frenzied massacre? Who overturned humanity's understanding of science and industrialization? This book analyzes the catastrophic impact of World War I on Europe.
