The greatest tragedy of the first half of the last century — the two world wars — is a colossal crime of authoritarianism. According to the logic of objective historical processes, neither the First nor, especially, the Second World War should have happened. For the centripetal tendencies of globalization in the modern world are destined to purge civilization of authoritarian regimes, thereby preventing the possibility of any military conflicts, eliminating war from human life. Globalization is the salvation of civilization. But in reality, civilization, at the behest of autocrats, experienced a near-apocalypse in the first half of the 20th century. Isn't this an anomaly?.. Nature, by virtue of objective laws, cannot develop to its own detriment, condemning itself to self-destruction.

"ON A HISTORIC TURNING POINT: GREAT WORLD WAR 1914-1945" is the author's view on the pernicious role of authoritarianism in the globalization era in the light of two world wars’ great catastrophe of the first half of the XX century. The World War I, under the author's version, is the result of monarchist regimes anachronism; the World War II is the result of the party totalitarianism’s abnormal germination on the basis of previous war. Analysis of the bolshevism and fascism origin during the interwar period leads to the conclusion that: fascism is a defensive reaction to bolshevism; bolshevism is the result of Lenin pseudo-Marxist initiative.

The origins of communist totalitarianism are explored in the book "The Ugly Child of Marxism". Leninist Bolshevism, as a pathological product of the bloody internecine struggles of monarchical autocracies, ultimately became a pathogenic catalyst for fascist obscurantism and led to World War II, merging the two world wars into a single process of global catastrophe from 1914 to 1945.

The purpose of this study is to warn modern autocracies against fighting against globalization.
