Features: This series compiles important works of classical Marxist-Leninist writers, in separate volumes. Works that can stand alone as books are published as individual books, while some important articles and letters are compiled into thematic collections. Some works also include appendices, by the author's own relevant writings and materials directly related to the book. To assist readers in study and research, "Notes" and "Name Indexes" are appended after the main text of each book, and some works also include "Subject Indexes." Translations and materials are based on the new complete collection and selected collections. For works without new editions, translations are revised according to new edition requirements, and materials are compiled. This series, paired with the complete collection and selected collections, can meet the diverse needs of a broad readership. Theoreticians, educators, publicity workers, grassroots cadres, university and college students, and other readers can select works from this according to their needs or systematically collect them. This book demonstrates that the war of 1914–1918 was imperialist (i.e., aggressive, predatory, bandit) on both sides. It was a war aimed at dividing the world, dividing and redistributing colonies and the "spheres of influence" of financial capital, etc.
