Today’s world is arguably very different from the world of the 1930s, history professor Cristina Florea , but current events in Europe have disturbing parallels in the 1930s.
"If the 1930s teach us anything, it is that things can fall apart easily," . "An international order carefully held together through institutions designed to preserve peace can unravel overnight. Faced with German aggression, the post-Versailles order collapsed at a mere push of the finger. Czechoslovakia disappeared from the map of Europe without a single bullet being fired. One year later, Europe found itself in the throes of its deadliest war in twenty years."
