The Anglo-Saxon Century and the Unification of the English-Speaking People

"The Anglo-Saxon Century and the Unification of the English-Speaking Peoples" by John R. Dos Passos is a historical exploration of the ties between English-speaking nations, especially the United States and the British Empire, arguing for their closer alignment in the early 1900s. Highlighting events like the Spanish-American War and the Boer War, the author sees potential for a strong partnership that might reshape global politics. He begins by noting the growing importance of these nations at the beginning of the 20th century, suggesting it could signal increased cooperation. Dos Passos looks at the shared history and culture connecting these countries, tempered by an awareness of obstacles such as bias and political differences. Ultimately, the author proposes that a unified Anglo-Saxon alliance is key for spreading civilization and avoiding worldwide conflicts.
