The problems of central and east central Europe were significant among the causes of the last two world wars. (“The last two” is a deliberate phrasing.) This rendition is unlikely to conform to what you have been taught in school. The West's awareness, and the publications there, try to avoid “complicated” presentations. Therefore, France’s “revanche”, the compensatory drives of the “Kaiser”, and then Germany’s frustration for having lost too much, as well as Mussolini’s annoyance because Italy had not gained enough, finally French-British appeasement of insatiable aggressors, stand in the foreground. Admittedly, only a fool would question the importance of these factors. The complaint is that by ignoring further fitting components, the historical picture presented becomes skewed. So are, accordingly, some of the contemporary analyses of the “Asia” (implying “unimportant” and “primitive”) that, according to an old phrase, begins at the eastern city limits of Vienna.
