About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 The conclusion of the Great War raised England to the highest position she has yet attained. For the fourth time in four successive centuries, England had led the resistance of Europe to a military tyranny, and the war had ended leaving the small states of the Low Countries in full independence.
#2 The British nation went into celebration after the war. The ordeal was over, and the threat had been warded off. The slaughter and the sacrifices had not been in vain, and the people gave themselves up to the emotions of triumph.
#3 On the night of the Armistice, I dined with the Prime Minister at Downing Street. The three men at the head of Great Britain, the United States, and France seemed to be the masters of the world. Behind them stood vast communities organized to the last point, rejoicing in victory and inspired with gratitude and confidence for the leaders who had led them there.
#4 The victory produced an astonishing effect on President Wilson. His responsibility and glory lifted him above the peace-time partisanship in which he had lived for so much of his life. He realized that he must go to the meeting in the Isle of Wight as the representative of the whole of the United States.

#1
The conclusion of the Great War raised England to the highest position she has yet attained. For the fourth time in four successive centuries, England had led the resistance of Europe to a military tyranny, and the war had ended leaving the small states of the Low Countries in full independence.
#2
The British nation went into celebration after the war. The ordeal was over, and the threat had been warded off. The slaughter and the sacrifices had not been in vain, and the people gave themselves up to the emotions of triumph.
#3
On the night of the Armistice, I dined with the Prime Minister at Downing Street. The three men at the head of Great Britain, the United States, and France seemed to be the masters of the world. Behind them stood vast communities organized to the last point, rejoicing in victory and inspired with gratitude and confidence for the leaders who had led them there.
#4
The victory produced an astonishing effect on President Wilson. His responsibility and glory lifted him above the peace-time partisanship in which he had lived for so much of his life. He realized that he must go to the meeting in the Isle of Wight as the representative of the whole of the United States.
#5
The three men met in the Isle of Wight and agreed on the steps that should be taken to set the world on its feet again in an enduring peace. They decided that a League of Nations should be set up not as a Super-State, but as a Super-Function above all the valiant and healthful nations of the world.
#6
The statesmen said that this was not a military proposition only, but world politics. To take over Russia, it would require the help of Germany. Germany knew more about Russia than anyone else. She was currently occupying the richest and most populous parts of Russia as a guarantee of civilised life.
#7
The three leaders decided that the new world order should be secured by the new weapons of science. Nations could, if they wished, have battleships and cruisers, cavalry, infantry, and artillery, but war from the air and war by chemical means were reserved to League and international authority alone.
#8
The League of Nations was created to maintain world peace against aggression, and the Great Powers agreed to build up the International Air Force. They thought the question of chemical warfare too difficult to decide at the moment, and they decided to ban any individual nation from practicing it.
#9
The second series of events arose out of the clashings between the naval and military leaders and the staffs behind them, who had plans that were either good or bad, but were certainly worked out in great detail. These plans were put into action, and the world was destroyed.
#10
The leaders of the victorious states were put to the test. They seemed all-powerful, but their power was waning. It became more difficult to gather the fruits of victory with every day that passed.
#11
The war spell that had been cast over the world was broken when Germany fell. Authority was dispersed, the world unshackled, and the weak became the strong. The world was looking forward to some great expansion, but instead, they were greeted with a sharp contraction.
Insights from Chapter 2
#1
The Munitions Council was assembled on November 11 and I directed their attention to the immediate demobilisation of British industry. The problems were intricate and perplexing. We controlled and were actually managing all the greatest industries. We regulated the supply of all their raw materials.
#2
The first question was what to do with the five million munition workers. It was clear that the majority of these would soon have to find new occupations, and hundreds of thousands would have to change their place of residence.
#3
The outbreak of World War I found the British Isles plunged in an extremity of faction, not only fantastic but also full of danger. The Conservative and Liberal masses, each under the impulse of their own Irish party, charged against each other in hearty vigour.
#4
The war had brought the country together, and all political values and relationships were
