The Twentieth Century has been one of the most turbulent eras in world history. In 1900 the world was dominated by a handful of European powers and there were less than 40 independent states in the world. By 1919 the picture had altered considerably; colonies throughout the world had changed hands; the Austro-Hungarian Empire had been destroyed and two new great powers, the United States and Japan, had emerged on the scene. By the end of World War II the map of Europe had been transformed again; there were two super-powers and the colonial empires were breaking up. There are now over 160 independent countries in the world and although the US-Soviet rivalry continues, new groupings like OPEC have emerged as powers on the world stage.

Many of these changes have come about in war, whether in lesser-known struggles like the Russo-Japanese War or the more recent wars of revolution and liberation in Africa and Asia or in the two devastating world conflicts. ATLAS OF 20TH CENTURY WARFARE charts the progress of war and diplomacy in these and many other struggles as well as providing up-to-date coverage of the situation in Afghanistan, the Middle East and Africa and showing the influence on the modern world of power blocks like NATO and the Warsaw Pact.

This book features more than 200 maps all prepared by Richard Natkiel, chief cartographer of The Economist, renowned for its expert coverage of political and military affairs. Each map is complemented by an authoritative explanatory text and many are also illustrated by carefully selected historical photographs.
