Apocalypse: Never-Ending War 1918-1926 - 2018 - 7/10
Rather hodgepodge documentary, though not without merit.
This follows the aftermath of World War I. How victors badly bungled the peace.
Countries and empires were portioned, laying the groundwork for future global conflicts.
The rise of fascism in nations is chronicled in the second installment, as well as the world’s scourge, nationalism.
After effects of the slaughter of a generation of men include millions of orphan children, and eligible females emigrating to Australia to try their chances there.
The Jazz Age seems a diversion, yet that was how isolationist America partied itself until collapse.
Two part doc is well colored throughout, and offers a wealth of additional side stories.
Excellent afterword to 1964’s The Great War.
