New nation states hastily patched together from the ruins of the Habsburg Empire destabilized the whole European continent for much of the twentieth century. However, the British Empire strengthened after the war and bonds with Dominions were renewed, except for Ireland. Comparing the troubled relationship between Czechs and Sudeten Germans in interwar Czechoslovakia to Britain's problems in Ireland, Reynolds examines how two blood sacrifices of 1916-the nationalist Easter Rising and the 36th Ulster Division's losses on the first day of the Battle of the Somme-aggravated tensions that remain to this day.
