Synopsis

""Three Years of World Revolution"" is a historical account of the events that took place during the years 1914-1917, which led to the emergence of a global revolutionary movement. Written by Paul Lensch, a German Marxist philosopher and journalist, the book provides a comprehensive analysis of the social, economic, and political factors that contributed to the outbreak of World War I and the subsequent revolutionary upheavals in Russia, Germany, and other parts of Europe.Lensch argues that the war was a result of the contradictions inherent in the capitalist system, which had reached its limits and was unable to provide for the needs of the masses. He shows how the war led to a radicalization of the working-class movements, which challenged the existing power structures and demanded radical social and political change.The book also provides a detailed account of the Russian Revolution, which Lensch sees as the most significant event of the period. He examines the role of the Bolsheviks in the revolution and their efforts to build a socialist society in the midst of civil war and foreign intervention.Overall, ""Three Years of World Revolution"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the early 20th century and the rise of revolutionary movements. It provides a Marxist perspective on the events of the time and offers insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by those who sought to build a new world order.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

As had been foreseen by all serious students of German affairs, the German Socialist party offered no serious opposition to the German Government at the outbreak of war. The subsequent identification of the Socialists with enthusiasm for the war and its aims was inevitable, and was accentuated by German military triumphs. After one and a half years of war the process had gone so far that Haase, Kautsky, Bernstein, Ledebour, and their little knot of adherents were forced to break away. A year later they were able to form the Independent Social Democratic party of Germany, but even then the Minority movement, as it is called, proved to be at least premature, as an effective influence for pacifism and internationalism upon the main currents of opinion and action. The Majority continued to dominate German Socialism, seizing the whole party machine and Press, and co-operating whether by open support or by a sometimes still more serviceable appearance of opposition with the German Government.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
