Fall of the Dynasties: Collapse of the Old Order, 1905-22 (Mainstream of the Modern World Series) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The Fall of the Dynasties covers the period from 1905-1922, when the four ruling houses (the Habsburg, Hohenzollern, Ottoman and Romanov) crumbled and fell, destroying old alliances and old boundaries. WWI was precipitated by their decay, and their splintered, baroque rubble proved to be a treacherous base for the new nations that emerged from the war.

Outwardly different, they were at bottom somewhat alike: opulent, grandiose, suffocating in tradition, ostentatiously gilded on the surface and rotting at the core. Worse still for (for them), they were tragically out of step with the forces that were shaping the modern world. The Fall of the Dynasties covers the period from 1905 to 1922, when these four ruling houses crumbled and fell, destroying old alliances and old boundaries. World War I was precipitated by their decay, and their splintered, baroque rubble proved to be a treacherous base for the new nations that emerged from the war. On June 28, 1914, in the dusty little Balkan town of Sarajevo, an assassin fired two shots. In the next five minutes, as the stout, middle~aged Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Habsburg and his wife bled to death, a dynasty ~ and, with it a whole way of life ~ began to topple. "All the convulsions of the last half~century stem back to Sarajevo. The two Worlds Wars, the Bolshevik revolution, the rise and fall of Hitler, the continuing turmoil in the Far and Near East, the power struggle between the Communist world and our own. More than 23,000,000 deaths can be traced to one or another of these upheavals; all of us who survive have been scarred, at least emotionally by them." Edmond Taylor traces the origins of the dynasties whose fall brought the old order crashing down. His book convincingly probes the characters and motivations of the four emperors, and brings out with particular clarity their personal roles in relation to the great historical trends of the age. Here, alive again, are Francis Joseph of Habsburg; Nicholas II of Russia; and Kaiser Wilhelm II of Hohenzollern. Seller Inventory # 1022303
