The following reflections on contemporary history as universal history are based on the book of Alessandro Duce, Storia della politica internazionale (1917-1957): dalla rivoluzione d’ottobre ai trattati di Roma. This important book starts from the First World War, which disrupted the European concert as the international system planned and administered by the German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck from 1870 to 1890 and then directed by William II with more difficulties. The only countries standing up after this war were Usa and Urss, representing the democratic revolution and the social revolution respectively. These revolutions, after destroying together the international fascism, clashed into each other with a Cold War, a soft method of ‘containment’ implying the respect of the adversary. | ||
