One War or a Series of Conflicts?

Comparing WWI and WWII reveals their major discrepancies. The first started as a European conflict; German endeavours to split it up only produced results in 1917 when the revolutionary events in Russia knocked this state out of the collective war. The similar project in the west – in Mexico – failed. WWII was the sequel to a series of conflicts in the Far East, Africa and Europe, which only gradually evolved towards a collective conflict.

The crisis that almost happened

The article, which was published in conference proceedings (SGEM), addresses the narrative strategy in historiographic monographs; in his “Catilinarian Conspiracy”, the Roman historian Sallust treated a non-event (the so-called first conspiracy of Catiline) as a real danger, thus psychologically supporting the idea of the grave danger to the Republic during the second conspiracy.
