The years immediately after the Great War were a time of great
political, social and economic change. The book seeks to examine
how the actions and events of this turbulent period were shaped by
the Great War and how they, in turn, helped to shape both the
period between the wars and beyond. We are still experiencing some
of these effects today. Starting with an in-depth analysis of how
the Great War ended and the effects of the Treaty of Versailles,
the book offers an overlapping insight into many aspects of the
period, such as the Spanish Flu pandemic (so named because of
censorship); women's enfranchisement in Britain, their battle to
retain the economic opportunities brought by the war and the
revolution in women's lives brought by Dr Marie Stopes; the
collapse of the Liberals and the rise of Labour; the emergence of
modern Ireland, including the role of the IRA; the shaping of the
Middle East; the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and the emergence
of Communism in the twentieth century; the development of both
American and British society in the aftermath of war. This was a
period that can be truly said to have shaped the twentieth century.
