The different armed conflicts that arose between 1939 and 1945, outside of World War II, constitute decisive confrontations in contemporary history, even though they are often overlooked.
Writers Carlos Canales Torres and Miguel del Rey Vicente (in the photo) analyze in this book the conflicts between the USSR and Japan and Finland, the war between Peru and Ecuador, the Slovak insurrection, or the struggles initiated by nationalist armed movements in regions such as Iraq, Iran, Indochina, Indonesia, and Burma… Despite everything, it is essential, due to its territorial or internal nature, to analyze it, as it allows us to overcome an excessively focused view on the global conflict and reveals the persistence of particular regional, national, and ideological dynamics.
These wars, overshadowed by the global war, were crucial for the political evolution of their respective territories and, in many cases, conditioned them and acted as a prelude to the ideological and geopolitical conflicts of the post-war period, from the Cold War to decolonization.
Wars Without Memory analyzes and studies their causes, development, and consequences of these conflicts, and proposes a comparison between continents, to discern both their differences and common patterns. A study that allows for a nuanced view of this historical period and emphasizes that the armed violence of the 20th century was not limited to a single scenario or a single logic of confrontation.
