This is a highly original and revisionist analysis of British and
American efforts to forge a stable Euro-Atlantic peace order
between 1919 and the rise of Hitler. Patrick Cohrs argues that this
order was not founded at Versailles but rather through the first
'real' peace settlements after World War I - the London reparations
settlement of 1924 and the Locarno security pact of 1925.
Crucially, both fostered Germany's integration into a fledgling
transatlantic peace system, thus laying the only realistic
foundations for European stability. What proved decisive was that
key decision-makers drew lessons from the 'Great War' and
Versailles' shortcomings. Yet Cohrs also re-appraises why they
could not sustain the new order, master its gravest crisis - the
Great Depression - and prevent Nazism's onslaught. Despite this
ultimate failure, he concludes that the 'unfinished peace' of the
1920s prefigured the terms on which a more durable peace could be
founded after 1945.
