POL359Y1 Study Guide - Authoritarianism, Habsburg Monarchy, Nationalization
Document Summary
The source of european integration is war. The danger for europe is that the generation that waged war no longer controls the helm of europe. Cooper and snider allude to this that it will be nationalism from the periphery. Europe has to come up with ways to prevent the resurgence of nationalism. Conditions for peripheral nationalist development projects should not be allowed. War was waged that had catastrophic consequences. The first world war was very much an austrian issue. This was a third balkan war, one that brought in all of europe. Austria intended to suppress the development of serbia into a world power. Everyone believed the war would be short. The end of the war set europe on a trajectory towards a 30 year war. From 1914 there was some point of conflict that emerged from 1914 until the second world war. The first impact of the first world war was the elimination of empires in europe.
