- Reading
- Read together or check in after sections on war deaths and political upheaval. Pause to distinguish the book’s explanations of events from judgements about them.
- Themes
- Armistice and the peace settlement: The book asks why Germany signed the armistice and agreed to the treaty’s terms. The book presents this mainly as information or explanation.
- Aftermath and remembrance: The book connects the war’s consequences with changes across Europe and asks how those who fought and died are remembered. These are stated areas of coverage, but the book’s interpretation of the changes and its treatment of remembrance are unknown.
- Worth knowing
- War deaths, revolution, fascism and economic hardship are among the subjects. These may prompt questions or strong feelings; the extent and detail of their treatment are unclear.
