"Peaceless Europe" by Francesco Saverio Nitti is a deep examination of Europe after World War I, specifically looking at the peace treaties created after 1919. It argues that these treaties, instead of creating peace, have actually created more conflict, particularly with Germany. Nitti uses his knowledge as a politician to suggest that Europe needs to rethink how it handles peace and working together, because currently the unfair treaties are causing issues. The book starts by describing a Europe full of unhappiness because of the tough conditions of the peace agreements. Nitti talks about how awful the war was and the problems it caused for everyone. He then criticizes the winning countries for punishing Germany so harshly, believing that this will only make things worse and prevent countries from cooperating in the future. The book feels urgent, as Nitti asks everyone to truly work towards rebuilding Europe based on fairness and respect for all countries.
