Summary | "The War That Will End War" by H. G. Wells is a historical account written in the early 20th century, around the time of the First World War. The book serves as a reflection and analysis of the causes and implications of World War I, advocating for a complete transformation of global politics and society to prevent future conflicts. It examines the concept of militarism, particularly focusing on German imperialism, and pushes for disarmament and the establishment of lasting peace. The opening of the text presents a clear exposition of why Britain entered the war, citing treaty obligations tied to the invasion of Belgium and Luxembourg. Wells articulates a view that this conflict is not just a battle of nations but a struggle for the very ideals of civilization against the brutal forces of militarism. He emphasizes that the war should lead to a comprehensive reckoning against German aggression and lays out his vision for a future without the corrupting influence of militarized imperialism, advocating for peace and cooperation among nations to secure a harmonious world.
