Summary: "Europe Since 1918" by Herbert Adams Gibbons is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work examines the political and social landscape of Europe following the conclusion of World War I, exploring the consequences of the peace treaties and the ongoing strife in the region. The book likely delves into the failures of the post-war peace negotiations and the unrest that persisted due to the unresolved issues stemming from the Treaty of Versailles and other agreements. The opening of the text sets the stage by presenting reflections on the state of Europe after the armistice of November 11, 1918, and the chaos that ensued from the peace settlements. Gibbons contrasts the momentous decision to end the war with the lack of preparation among victorious nations regarding the terms of peace. He recounts how the Allies felt unprepared to dictate peace, despite the shifting dynamics of power and expectations during the war. Emphasizing the contradictions in how the treaties were formed, the author critiques the political decisions that led to ongoing instability and questions the effectiveness of the League of Nations in fostering long-term peace amid widespread bitterness and conflicting national interests.
