The year 1871 was the consecration of the dominance of Bismarkian Germany in Europe and the beginning of the apogee of Europe in the world. The Great War will prove fatal to this double hegemony causing the military defeat of Germany and the economic decline of the Old Continent in the face of the United States. Pierre Milza offers a new perspective on these events by emphasizing the role of underlying forces as well as by demonstrating the weight of economic interests behind diplomatic issues and the main currents of public opinion.
