People's Century - 1919: Lost Peace (Interwar Period / League of Nations)
Been binging on the documentaries lately, all of which will now be posted over here www.dailymotion.com/dai-flu Don't worry I'll get back to the music and stuff soon. Thought I'd post this one here what with everyone reliving WWI this year and all; I like the politics of war more than the battles themselves.
"The trauma of the First World War gives Europe no appetite for any further conflicts, but within the subsequent two decades the world would return to rearmament and militarism. The Paris Peace Conference introduced the concept of self-determination, leading to the establishment of Czechoslovakia, Poland and Yugoslavia from the former Central Powers. The League of Nations is established to assist in resolving international disputes in an open environment, but fails to receive strong support and is eventually proven impotent in preventing Italy's conquest of Ethiopia.
Despite a public push for disarmament, prompted by All Quiet on the Western Front and other reminders of the First World War, few countries make any serious moves. French and British demands for heavy war reparations lead to Germany's economic ruin, but this and other unforeseen consequences of the Treaty of Versailles would result in the emergence of Adolf Hitler. As Germany begins to absorb its neighbours, the rest of Europe mobilises, and the moral utility of pacifism is questioned.
The introductory scene shows Armistice Day. Interviewees include Lord Soper."

i live for these documentaries
This was such a great series
FUN FACT: The narrator, Sean Barrett, apparently worked on oldschool anime classics such as Cyber City Oedo and DOMINION. Tank Police actually had one of the better dubs from the time when all dubs were awful, surprisingly since they were English guys putting on fake American accents.

eh if you're being serious that's a pretty immature thing to write Mr Art
14:00-33:00
When was this released? It sounds like something from the 80's or the 90's.
