But in 1919 many things happened to destroy the idealism born in the moment of victory. There was civil war in Russia, the founding of the Nazi and fascist movements, the Indian struggle for independence against the British. In the U.S., we had the Great Red Scare, violent race riots, and the Black Sox scandal in the World Series. In this fascinating work, Klingaman traces the political, diplomatic, social, cultural, and psychological changes that combined to make 1919, in essence, the first year of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper \u0026 Row, 1989","offers":[{"title":"1919 The Year Our World Began \/ Very Good","offer_id":56008686436644,"sku":"9780060972516VG","price":7.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_7e8d4bd9-6eec-4c3a-8e06-4b810e665f15.jpg?v=1786461552","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780060972516","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
