International Cooperation in the Early Twentieth Century
ISBN: 9781472567949 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The early 20th-century world experienced a growth in international cooperation, and yet the dominant historical view of the period has long been one of national, military, and social divisions rather than connections.
