The War of the World is a documentary pushing the idea that world war 1, 2 and the Cold War were not separate wars but one continuous century-long war.
This theory is presented by controversial historian Niall Ferguson who wrote a book called The War of the World: History's Age of Hatred which is what this documentary is based on. It is certainly obvious that the state of Germany's political situation after World War 1 fueled the rise of nationalism in the country, largely due to the Treaty of Versailles which gave Hilter a logical front to his movement. Ferguson goes into much more detail in The War of the World and connects the dots to show how we have been in a perpetual war for the last 100 years.
