Excerpt from Stakes of the War, Summary of the Various Problems, Claims, and Interests of the Nations at the Peace Table
I have read with much interest and instruction this book. It sets forth in a concise and readable form the relevant facts in respect to every country whose condition is likely to be the subject of consideration by the powers who shall make the treaty of peace for the great war and construct the machinery for the maintenance of future peace. Alsace-Lorraine, the Trentino, the country about Trieste, the Balkans, the Baltic provinces, the Ukraine, Constantinople, Armenia, Egypt, Arabia, Palestine, Persia, Africa, and the German colonies are all discussed in sententious paragraphs, with the statistics which one wishes to have, and which it is difficult to find elsewhere massed all together in one volume. The various plans for the disposition of these lands, with the probable attitude of the interested countries toward such plans, is also summarily set forth. The book is not an argumentative or contentious work. It takes no side. It is a book of ready reference. It is practical in its information because all the various countries likely to cause dispute between the Powers are laid down upon a small chart, so to speak, where they may be compared. It is a book most valuable to every one who expects to follow the course of international politics and settlements in this war. Its publication could not be more opportune. The names of the authors are an earnest of its fairness and accuracy.

Seller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates territorial and racial issues of Western Europe, a global region with an entangled history that precedes the volume. The author describes historical, economic, and general topics impacting each issue, while providing context for each of the book's following chapters dedicated to unraveling the complexities of Belgium, Alsace-Lorraine, Schleswig-Holstein, Finland, and other Baltic provinces. These areas' self-determination in the face of competing geopolitical claims is a central theme, as is the hope that acknowledging claims can mitigate conflict and promote peace and stability. The book argues that resolving claims in favor of self-determination for culturally similar regions will lead to a more stable and peaceful European political landscape, offering a guide to the causes and potential solutions to many of the most pressing European conflicts of its day.
