Do great states merely hold onto what is theirs, or do they reach for more? Anthony D'Agostino offers a fascinating new answer to these questions through a fundamental reassessment of the international history of the first half of the twentieth century. From the spatial limits of a purely European great power politics the book looks out to the new horizon of world politics. From the time limits of 1914 to 1945 it considers the interface with nineteenth-century imperialism at one end and the impact of the world wars on the Cold War at the other. This is a global retelling of the expansion of Europe coming up against its limits in the most violent conflicts and explosive social movements yet known to history, the two world wars, the Great Depression, and the Russian and Chinese revolutions. 606 $aWorld politics$y1900-1945 606 $aInternational relations$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aWorld politics 615 0$aInternational relations$xHistory 676 $a327.09/041 700 $aD'Agostino$b Anthony$f1937-$01146571 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811973003321 996 $aThe rise of global powers$93924179 997 $aUNINA
