Cataclysm: The First World War As Political Tragedy

The First World War was a global conflict that lasted from 1914 to 1918. It was the first industrial war, and it resulted in the deaths of millions of people. The war was a political tragedy, and it had a profound impact on the world.

In his book Cataclysm, Christopher Clark argues that the First World War was not inevitable. He believes that it was caused by a series of political decisions made by the leaders of the European powers. Clark argues that the war was a product of the rise of nationalism and imperialism, and that it was fueled by a widespread belief in the superiority of one's own country.
