| Summary | "The Anglo-Saxon Century and the Unification of the English-Speaking Peoples" by John R. Dos Passos is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The text explores the evolving relationship between English-speaking countries, particularly focusing on the United States and the British Empire, and advocates for a closer union among these nations. It discusses the significance of events leading up to the turn of the century, such as the Spanish-American War and the Boer War, as catalysts for a potential alliance that could redefine international relations. At the start of this work, the author sets the stage by highlighting two pivotal events that marked the transition from the 19th to the 20th century: the engagement of the United States in the Philippines and the British Empire during the Second Boer War. He emphasizes the surprising prominence of Anglo-Saxon nations on the world stage and suggests that these developments could lead to a new era of cooperation among English-speaking peoples. The author reflects on the historical and cultural connections that bind these nations together, while also cautioning against the challenges posed by prejudice and political divisions. Through his analysis, Dos Passos posits that a united Anglo-Saxon front is essential for the advancement of civilization and the prevention of conflict on a global scale.
