| Summary |
"Peace Theories and the Balkan War" by Norman Angell is a historical account written during the early 20th century. This work examines the underlying causes and implications of the Balkan War, particularly in relation to the prevailing ideas of peace and war at that time. Angell engages with the concepts of militarism, diplomacy, and the economic factors influencing conflicts, ultimately arguing for a reassessment of how nations interact and resolve their differences. At the start of the book, Angell presents a series of provocative questions regarding the nature of war and peace, highlighting the failure of various theories that downplay the impact of militatism and force in human relations. He references prominent figures like Winston Churchill and critique of Norman Angell's pacifist perspectives, showcasing the contentious discourse surrounding the justification of war in the context of the Balkan conflict. Angell grapples with complex social dynamics, economic motives, and ideological beliefs, setting the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the causes and consequences of the Balkan War throughout the subsequent chapters.
