La Segunda Guerra Mundial

The Second World War has often been interpreted as the suicide of Europe, and there is little doubt that it brought about the blackout of this as the focus and engine that had been of human history for four and a half centuries, in what can be called the European Era. . That colossal conflict has been focused and narrated in many ways. This study draws a synopsis of the military evolution and the great policies involved, to devote preferential attention to what would be its true generating nucleus: the antagonism between the liberal-capitalist, communist-Soviet and fascist-Nazi ideologies, all three of which were born, paradoxically from the same root: the cult of reason since the Age of Enlightenment or Enlightenment. Despite the implication and mutual repercussions between said war and Spain, there is very little Spanish bibliography of its own. However, the European Era begins precisely with world explorations from the end of the 15th century and the brake on the Islamo-Ottoman expansion. It is of interest, perhaps more than symbolic, that Spain began this era and abstained from its catastrophic end.
