A bold new history showing that the fear of Communism was a major factor in the outbreak of World War II
The Spectre of War looks at a subject we thought we knew―the roots of the Second World War―and upends our assumptions with a masterful new interpretation. Looking beyond traditional explanations based on diplomatic failures or military might, Jonathan Haslam explores the neglected thread connecting them all: the fear of Communism prevalent across continents during the interwar period. Marshalling an array of archival sources, including records from the Communist International, Haslam transforms our understanding of the deep-seated origins of World War II, its conflicts, and its legacy.
Haslam offers a panoramic view of Europe and northeast Asia during the 1920s and 1930s, connecting fascism’s emergence with the impact of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. World War I had economically destabilized many nations, and the threat of Communist revolt loomed large in the ensuing social unrest. As Moscow supported Communist efforts in France, Spain, China, and beyond, opponents such as the British feared for the stability of their global empire, and viewed fascism as the only force standing between them and the Communist overthrow of the existing order. The appeasement and political misreading of Nazi Germany and fascist Italy that followed held back the spectre of rebellion―only to usher in the later advent of war.
Illuminating ideological differences in the decades before World War II, and the continuous role of pre- and postwar Communism, The Spectre of War provides unprecedented context for one of the most momentous calamities of the twentieth century

Strange idea.Communism and fear of Communism aren’t the same. About as different as falling off a cliff and being afraid of falling off a cliff.
Here’s me thinking the roots of the second world war were in the punishing reparations placed on Germany after the first one.
Is this another example of revising history in order to dump on China and Communism in general?

The treaty of Versailles caused WWII. If humanity were actually capable of learning from the past, it would go like this.
Person 1: “Hey, we should try communism.”
Person 2: Shoots person one in the head.

Versailles annexed Czechoslovakia? and invaded Poland, wasn’t Hitler and his nazis? Read Mein Kampf or download the audiobook… Hitler was on a path to carve an Empire as Britain and France did in the previous Century…

more apologists for mass murder by the sick left…. before WWII started the bolshevik reds had already slaughtered countless innocents. And then after the reds won wwII they slaughtered tens of millions of their own in Russia, leading to the death of HUNDREDS of millions with the Cultural revolution in China. And who gets demonized today, the right! LMAO

Privateering, perhaps I misunderstand you meaning. You are defending the actions of “the Right”? Which in this case is spelled “Reich,” of course.
Do you find the demonization of the Reich hurtful and unfair?
Do you equate Stalin’s Russia, the left, with the Democrats of today, another left?

@Privateering
I assume you are American.
You are aware of which side your country fought on, yes?
You do sound far more ideologically tied to the Nazis. Pity yer peepaw had to die for you!

Western fear of communism turbo-charged fascism? Colour me surprised! Look forward to listening

If you wonder why the right is demonized today, look at how it behaves today. A perfect example is lisiva5995’s comment above.
