| Summary |
"The New York Times Current History: The European War, February, 1915" by Various is a historical account published during the early 20th century. This work serves as an in-depth compilation of contemporary writings and opinions regarding the European conflict, particularly focusing on World War I and its societal and cultural repercussions. The collection likely highlights the perspectives from various authors, intellectuals, and military figures on the war's impact and the nature of patriotism and identity amid turmoil. The opening portion introduces a profound and emotionally charged appeal from Russian authors, artists, and intellectuals, urging their fellow citizens to recognize the brutality inflicted by Germany during the war. They evoke vivid imagery of destruction and suffering, calling for unity and a collective response to the atrocities being committed. This initial appeal sets the tone for a broader discourse on national pride, identity, and the moral responsibilities of nations at war. The text emphasizes the necessity for a united front against perceived barbarism and reflects a deep engagement with the cultural and ethical implications of the conflict.
