| Summary |
"Where Are We Going?" by David Lloyd George is a political treatise reflecting on the European geopolitical situation written in the early 20th century, specifically shortly after the end of World War I. The book addresses the changing dynamics of nations, the fragility of peace in the post-war era, and the potential for future conflicts if underlying issues are not addressed. The work appears to emphasize the importance of justice and good relations among nations as a means to prevent war. The opening of this treatise introduces the immense transformations Europe underwent after World War I, juxtaposing the pre-war confident systems with the post-war hesitance and chaos. Lloyd George describes a Europe marred by new nations rising while old empires crumble, with lingering tensions that threaten to ignite further conflicts despite the hope for lasting peace. He warns that, although many experiences from the Great War should educate nations against future wars, the persistent fears, suspicions, and military posturing among nations indicate that humanity may not have grasped the lessons learned. This critical reflection sets the tone for the rest of the work, which promises to explore the complexities of international relations and the pressing need for a cooperative global framework to ensure peace.
