Decolonization changed the spatial order of the globe, the imagination of men and women around the world and established images of the globe. Both individuals and social groups shaped decolonization itself: this volume puts agency squarely at the centre of debate by looking at elites and leaders who changed the course of history across the world.

This history provides ready access to the insights of recent research, combining analysis with a narrative account of the period. It covers the rise of the Nazi Party, the consolidation of power in 1933-38, preparations for war, and the nature of the Nazi State. The war itself is a particular focus of attention and is considered in relation to the military engagements, the persecution of the regime's victims, the extermination and terror program, and the policies of occupation in the Nazi-occupied parts of Europe. Finally, there is a discussion of the attempt to place the Nazi crimes into their proper contexts.

Nazi Germany and the crimes associated with that regime have never left the public consciousness, even though the war generation is slowly dying out. However, historians have found new ways of viewing the subject, changing their perspectives and models of interpretation. This history provides access to recent research, combining analysis with a narrative account of the period. It covers the rise of the Nazi party, the consolidation of power in 1933-1938, preparations for war, and the nature of the Nazi state. It focuses particularly on the war, the military engagements, the persecution of the regime's victims, the extermination and terror programme, and the policies of occupation in the Nazi-occupied parts of Europe. The author attempts to place the Nazi crimes in their proper context after 1945, and to assess the extent to which Nazism brought about a modernization of Germany.

Der Kolner Zeithistoriker Jost Dulffer zahlt zu den ersten Vertretern der Historischen Friedensforschung in Deutschland. Seine hier vorgelegten Aufsatze behandeln zentrale Aspekte von Frieden und Krieg von der Franzosischen Revolution bis zum Kalten Krieg. Ausgehend von Joseph Gorres und Friedrich Gentz geht es um Modelle der Friedenssicherung in Deutschland, um Bismarck und das Problem des europaischen Friedens, um die Entwicklung des europaischen Machtesystems sowie um die Haager Konferenzen 1899 und 1907. Auch die Themen Rustungsbegrenzung, Kriegserwartung und Kriegsbild vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg, die Haltung Max Schelers zu Krieg und Frieden sowie die Frage, wie deutsche politische Eliten nach den Weltkriegen uber Supranationalitat und Machtpolitik dachten, werden untersucht. Schliesslich analysiert Dulffer den Beginn des Krieges 1939, die NS-Perzeption des Pazifismus, die Bewegungen gegen Wiederbewaffnung und Nuklearwaffen im Deutschland der funfziger Jahre, die Gefahr eines Atomkrieges wahrend der Suez- und Ungarn-Krise. Der Band behandelt damit entscheidende Fragen von Konfliktbewaltigung und -vermeidung in der neuen Geschichte.
