Der Weltkrieg, III. Band Vom Eingreifen Amerikas bis zum Zusammenbruch

Spanning the turbulent final years of the Great War, this volume offers a vivid account of how America’s decision to join the conflict reshaped the diplomatic and military landscape. It traces the escalation of unrestricted submarine warfare, the reactions of neutral nations, and the ripple effects of the Russian Revolution on the Eastern front. Readers also follow the shifting strategies of the Central Powers as they grapple with new offensives in the Balkans, the Middle East, and Italy.

The narrative turns inward to the German Empire, detailing the erosion of the wartime “Burgfrieden” and the fierce debates that raged within the Reichstag. It examines the rise of the Social Democrats, the contentious peace resolution, and the rapid turnover of chancellors as the government struggled to balance military demands with growing public dissent. Through a blend of political intrigue and frontline reports, the book captures the complex pressures that drove the war toward its breaking point.
