Description

This is a 1922 map of Europe at HISTRUIT. The World War I war is divided into three phases: first the great rebellion of the nations and the clashes of the great powers, then the socialist revolution caused by the exhaustion of each country, and finally the regaining cooperation of each country. It is the stage to suppress the revolution.

This map is based on the borders set at the Second congress of London, which was held to develop a new international order after the Great uprising was subdued.

Explanation:

The London Conference, an international conference held in 1866 to deal with the aftermath of the German War and the dissolution of Belgium, established the first London system to replace the Vienna system.

Since the restoration of imperial rule in 1852 at the hands of Napoleon III, France has sought to alter the Vienna System.With the disappearance of Belgium, Britain, which was losing its space to intervene in Europe, tried to contain the European countries, especially France, by making each country explicitly responsible for its own actions at the international conference.

As a result of the London Conference, France's creation of the Italian Confederation and the dissolution of the Belgian Republic were approved. Prussia, which had expanded its territory during the German War but failed to unify Germany, was forced to rejoin the German Confederation.

Finally, the London Protocol, ratified by the states, introduced a formula similar to collective security: "In the event of an open war without an international conference, other states would have a pretext for a sanctioned war against that state." This was to bring peace for the foreseeable future.

This system, known as the First London Regime, was much to the dismay of German and Eastern European nationalists. This was because, despite the renewal of the Vienna system, it did not provide independence.

Taking advantage of this nationalist desire to change the status quo on behalf of France were Russia and Prussia, which were dissatisfied with the London-Paris-Vienna dispensation.

The contradictory London system broke down in 1914. In that year, the Balkan states rebelled against the Ottoman Empire with the backing of Russia. This war, known as the First Balkan War, marked the beginning of the Great uprising.

Nationalism exploded in various regions, and large-scale wars broke out simultaneously, forcing the major powers to intervene one after another.

While the Russian army sent a large force to the Balkans to fight a war of attrition, Britain and France decided to intervene militarily to stop Russia's southward expansion. The Second Crimean War broke out.

Austria followed suit in 1915 and intervened, resulting in the First East European War. The entry of Austro-French allied forces into Krakow triggered a war of independence against Russia in Poland, Ukraine, and Lithuania.

Austria, which had lost Galizia in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877, had no qualms about supporting the Poles. Britain and France were trying to strengthen their unity against Russia by giving the Habsburgs the Polish crown.

In 1916, when Sevastopol fell with the deployment of tanks, the Russian Empire collapsed, and after a provisional government was formed, the Bolsheviks seized power. In Eastern Europe, Józef Piłsudski and Simon Petrula formed a government and fought against Russia along with Britain and France.

The movement for Polish independence sparked internal conflicts in Germany.

Prussia, allied with Russia and seeking an opportunity to overthrow Austria, accused Austria of supporting the Polish uprising. Austria responded by expelling Prussia from the German Confederation under the pretext of its relations with Russia and its repression of the Poles.

This led to the outbreak of the Second German War in 1916, in which France, Denmark, and the southern German states fought alongside Austria. Prussia's campaign for the formation of a new German Confederation - that is, the unification of Germany - won over much of German public opinion. In the Italian Confederation, Alta Italia, which had strong anti-Austrian and anti-French feelings, withdrew from the Confederation and joined the Prussian side.

The Russian Revolution of 1917, the entry into Poland, and the surrender of Alta Italia created a desperate situation for Prussia.

In 1917, following the failure of the Bohemian offensive, Prussia proposed an armistice, but the terms offered by France were extremely harsh.

Anti-French sentiment exploded in Germany, and the horizontal revolt in Kiel led to the establishment of workers' governments in various regions and the outbreak of the German Revolution.

In Austria, the blow of the Bohemian offensive led Emperor Franz Ferdinand to propose that Bohemia be upgraded within the empire, but he was forced to abandon the idea due to opposition by Hungary, leading to the independence of Czechoslovakia. This, combined with the spillover of the German Revolution, led to the collapse of the Austrian Empire.

Meanwhile, Turkey, which had won a victory over the Balkan states, began an anti-British-French struggle in 1917, when Enver Pasha, who had formed an alliance with the Bolsheviks, seized power. Britain and France were in a position of indirect control over the Ottoman Empire because of their support in the First Balkan War, causing ill feelings among the Turks. This led to the outbreak of the Second Balkan War, and the Balkan states resumed the war of retaliation on the side of Britain and France. The Ottoman Empire entered the war recklessly and tumbled down the road to collapse.

By 1918, the situation in Europe was no longer completely out of control. In Germany, the soviet republic had been established and was on the verge of communization. Revolutions spread to Britain and France, and the whole of Europe was engulfed in turmoil. Germany was plunged into a violent civil war between the Black Army, the remnants of the Royal Prussian Army, and the Red Army, composed of workers.

In 1912, Theodore Roosevelt, who had broken with convention and been reelected president, broke with convention to arrange a meeting between Wilhelm II and Napoleon IV at The Hague in response to the crisis in Europe, and issued the Hague Declaration.

This led to France's reluctant recognition of German unification, and together they agreed to confront the threat of redistribution. The following year, to avoid further revolution and disorder, an international conference was held in London to form the Second London Regime. This succeeded in restoring coordination among the countries and bringing them together in the cause of anti-communism. Theodore Roosevelt, as mediator, won the Nobel Peace Prize that year.When the coordination of the countries resumed, the revolutionary mayhem was rapidly quelled.

The Second London System was largely based on Theodore Roosevelt's philosophy, which pursued both national self-determination and a balance of power.

In Eastern Europe, the Intermarium, a federation of states advocated by General Piłsudski, was formed.

In the Balkans, the Illyrian Commonwealth was formed, consisting of Serbia, which took over the Slavic areas of the Ottoman Empire, and Croatia and Banat, which took over the South Slavic areas of Austrian territory.

The creation of these countries was based on Anglo-French interests and aimed at containing Germany and the Soviet Union.

Germany achieved the founding of the Reich, but the annexation of Austria was never recognized. This was in the face of opposition from Britain and France, which wanted the Habsburgs to return. Kaiser Wilhelm wanted to break the "puppet emperor" complex, and his hatred of Britain and France grew. He and many other Germans were driven by the ambition to rewrite the European order and achieve a rapid reconstruction of a devastated Germany. So. It was the "Awakening of the Reich."...
