Somewhat difficult to read. Produced by Eric Eldred, Anne Reshnyk, Charles Franks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The World Decision" by Robert Herrick is a historical account written during the early 20th century. This work delves into the complexities of Italy's political landscape during the tumultuous period leading up to its decision to enter World War I, exploring the psychological and social forces that influenced national sentiment amid external pressures and internal rivalries. The opening of the text sets the stage for the profound hesitation and deliberation within Italy as the country teeters on the brink of war. Herrick provides a vivid account of public sentiment in Naples and Rome, capturing the anxiety and quietude permeating Italian society as citizens grapple with their national identity amidst rampant rumors and impatient political maneuvering. As Italy's leaders engage in secret negotiations with Austria and the Allies, external events like the sinking of the Lusitania ignite national fervor, leading to a dramatic shift in public opinion and culminating in the rallying cry against perceived Teutonic aggressions. The narrative reveals the intricate interplay between political figures, renowned activists like the poet D’Annunzio, and the general populace’s evolving outlook toward war, all while highlighting the underlying themes of duty, nationalism, and the human struggle for civilization.
