11 novembre 1918. L'Allemagne conclut un armistice sans que son armée ait perdu une bataille clairement décisive, avant de ratifier le traité de Versailles, qui contraint les Allemands à endosser toute la responsabilité de la guerre. La République de Weimar ne sut au fond jamais s'affranchir du traumatisme de la défaite. L'issue de la Grande Guerre fut à l'origine de clivages politiques majeurs et d'une profonde amertume qui s'exprima dès la fin des années 1920 ; Hitler était là pour répondre au souhait des Allemands d'"en finir avec Versailles". Dans cet ouvrage magistral, nourri d'années de recherche, Gerd Krumeich entend répondre à cette question cruciale : la défaite de 1918 est-elle à l'origine de l'histoire chaotique de l'Allemagne et du funeste destin de la République de Weimar ?

This magisterial new history elucidates a momentous transformation process that changed the world: the struggle to create, for the first time, a modern Atlantic order in the long twentieth century (1860-2020). Placing it in a broader historical and global context, Patrick O. Cohrs reinterprets the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 as the original attempt to supersede the Eurocentric 'world order' of the age of imperialism and found a more legitimate peace system - a system that could not yet be global but had to be essentially transatlantic. Yet he also sheds new light on why, despite remarkable learning-processes, it proved impossible to forge a durable Atlantic peace after a First World War that became the long twentieth century's cathartic catastrophe. In a broader perspective this ground-breaking study shows what a decisive impact this epochal struggle has had not only for modern conceptions of peace, collective security and an integrative, rule-based international order but also for formative ideas of self-determination, liberal-democratic government and the West.
