Did the First World War truly end in 1918 or did violence simply continue?
In short: This video examines the Brutalization Theory, which attempts to explain the persistent levels of violence observed during and after the First World War. It also explores the beginning of the Paris Peace Conference, providing essential context for understanding the instability that followed the conflict.
The Brutalization Theory suggests that the extreme violence of the First World War fundamentally altered societal norms, leading to a continuation of conflict even after the armistice. This perspective seeks to understand why the period between 1917 and 1923 remained marked by significant unrest, challenging the traditional view that the war concluded cleanly in 1918.
The video also covers the initiation of the Paris Peace Conference, which began 100 years prior to the production of this content. By analyzing these events, the presentation highlights how the failed transition to peace shaped the post-war world.
