Information

------------------------------



World Wars I and II tore the heart out of the 20th century. However, the twenty years between them saw the rise of jazz, prohibition, the talkies, radio, and the motor car. Amid the rapid progress, historians describe the inter-war years as an age of anxiety. This richly detailed series explores the looming reality of the period: that the terms of peace merely set the stage for another world war.

The First World War claimed a life every twenty-five seconds - for four years. What had been the point of it all? Surely it was that out of all the grief and loss would come a new world order, one in which peace and prosperity would replace inequality, injustice and dynastic swagger.

But twenty years after the guns fell silent, they were again about their business - louder and more lethal than ever. Why? Why did the peace that people prayed and paid for last little more than twenty years? Why did tyrants rise to control the fate of continents? Why did a world that had survived a war collapse into an unprecedented depression? Two world wars tore the heart out of the twentieth century. Between these two tragedies was an age that nostalgia views enthusiastically - a time of jazz, prohibition, the talkies, radio and the motor car. A time that was in reality an age of anxiety. Our story, told through archive and the insights of international historians, is of twenty years of peace that produced war. A peace that failed. Impossible Peace.

The First World War seemed to end all further hostilities forever. So why was it only followed by a 20-year period of peace? By the end of 1919 - when our story starts - it was all done and dusted. The terms had been hammered out at Versailles, the great and powerful had signed the papers, the echoes of war were fading and the new age, the age of a hard-won peace, was beginning. It would last just twenty years. The twenty years that occupy our series. Twenty years is not a long time. This is the story of what went wrong.

The series investigates what was the fatal mistake in the 1919 Treaty of Versailles, which led to another war just two decades later. It turns out that there is much more to the background than "Hitler's rise", and the road to World War II actually shows a much more colorful and varied picture. From the Great Depression to the Jazz Age and the rise of Soviet power, from Gandhi to Picasso and Cole Porter, we can learn about the key events and people involved in the outbreak of war.

3)  Mussolini is Always Right 1925-1929

Exchange rates and floundering economies were not the only things, influencing how and where people lived. The motor-car and other technological advances were transformative. Those technological advances were embraced by some - but not all - whilst Mussolini began his autocratic rule. Fascism and militarism were on the rise, it arose in Europe when many people yearned for national unity and strong leadership. In Italy, Benito Mussolini used his charisma to establish a powerful fascist state.

In the US, these are the best of times. Prohibition doesn't stop anyone from having a good time, the country is on wheels or listening to the radio, welcoming the talkies or investing in the stock market. It's that brief spell they call the Jazz Age, the age of Charles Lindbergh and Babe Ruth. And in 1929, on Black Tuesday, it comes crashing down to the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.
