Abstract

With this bibliographical essay we propose to analyse, through the commentary of the four selected works, what role violence played at the end of the First World War, what factors acted as a catalyst for it, and how it was projected over the following two decades. As a broad conclusion, we can anticipate that the political violence observed served primarily to catapult parties that disregarded the freedoms and rights of the people into positions of government. When they came to power, they perfected this use of violence to persecute and physically eliminate all dissidence (political, social, cultural, military...), whether supposed or real.
