| Summary | "The Salvaging of Civilization" by H. G. Wells is a political and philosophical discourse written in the early 20th century. This work reflects on the disastrous consequences of war and the urgent necessity for humanity to create a unified global state capable of addressing the threats posed by modern conflict and societal disintegration. Wells argues that traditional nationalistic sentiments must be replaced with a broader sense of global responsibility and cooperation to prevent the decline of civilization. The opening of this work examines the state of humanity after the Great War, highlighting the fragility of civilization as it grapples with the destructive forces unleashed by modern warfare. Wells discusses the urgent need for a concerted effort to eliminate war and its detrimental effects on society, stressing that political and social systems must evolve to reflect the interconnectedness of the modern world. Through a thorough exploration of historical context and political theory, the text lays the groundwork for a vision of a world united by common law and purpose, emphasizing that failure to adapt could lead to catastrophic outcomes for humanity.
