The War That Will End War

"The War That Will End War" by H. G. Wells is an exploration of World War I and a call for a new world order. Penned during the conflict, the book looks at the roots and effects of the war, specifically focusing on the aggressive militarism of Germany, and argues for worldwide disarmament. Wells explains Britain's involvement as a necessary defense of treaties protecting Belgium and Luxembourg. Viewing the war as a battle between civilization and militarism, Wells hopes for a future free from the dangers of armed imperialism, where peace and collaboration create a better world.
