| Summary |
"La guerra europea: studi e discorsi" by Guglielmo Ferrero is a collection of essays and speeches written during the early 20th century. This work explores the causes and consequences of World War I, delving into the philosophical and historical contexts that led to the outbreak of the conflict. Ferrero presents a critical analysis of modern civilization and the socio-political upheaval that accompanied the war, using a narrative that promises to provide deep insights into both contemporary issues and future implications. The opening of this publication establishes the author's intention to discuss the last days of peace leading up to the war, focusing particularly on the events from July 23 to August 1, 1914. Ferrero meticulously recounts the intricate diplomatic exchanges and tensions involved, emphasizing how Austria-Hungary's provocative actions towards Serbia triggered a chain reaction among the great powers of Europe. The text provides a detailed narrative of the moments leading up to the war and reflects on the broader themes of fear, ambition, and the ineffectiveness of diplomatic efforts, setting the stage for a profound discourse on the implications of the war for European civilization.
