Sommario/riassunto |
|
Verständlicher, sachkundiger und kompakter kann man sich über die Katastrophe von 1914 kaum informieren: Gerd Krumeich fasst in diesem Buch den Wissensstand zur Vorgeschichte und zum Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs zusammen. Der Autor verfolgt die Krisenlage vor 1914, die Eskalation und das Scheitern diplomatischer Lösungsversuche und informiert über den aktuellen Forschungsstand zur immer wieder gestellten Kriegsschuldfrage. 50 Schlüsseldokumente aus nicht leicht zugänglichen Aktenpublikationen werden im Wortlaut abgedruckt und erläutert. So können auch Nicht-Spezialisten die Hauptstränge der Ereignisse, die Vorstellungen und Denkhorizonte der damals verantwortlichen Staatsmänner und Militärs nachvollziehen. Niemand von ihnen ahnte oder wollte 1914 den Krieg, wie er 1916 vor Verdun und an der Somme grausame Realität wurde. Insofern lehrt dieses Buch auch, welche unwägbaren Gefahren jeder als begrenzbar gedachte Krieg mit sich bringt. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Today's world textile and garment trade is valued at a staggering $425 billion. We are told that under the pressure of increasing globalisation, it is India and China that are the new world manufacturing powerhouses. However, this is not a new phenomenon: until the industrial revolution, Asia manufactured great quantities of colourful printed cottons that were sold to places as far afield as Japan, West Africa and Europe. Cotton explores this earlier globalised economy and its transformation after 1750 as cotton led the way in the industrialisation of Europe. By the early nineteenth century, India, China and the Ottoman Empire switched from world producers to buyers of European cotton textiles, a position that they retained for over two hundred years. This is a fascinating and insightful story which ranges from Asian and European technologies and African slavery to cotton plantations in the Americas and consumer desires across the globe. |
