Margaret MacMillan
Professor of History, University of Toronto
I’m a Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Toronto, and Emeritus Professor of International History at Oxford. My research and my writing are mainly on the international history of the 19th and 20th centuries. I have written books about the origins of the First World War, and then about the Paris Peace Conference, which tried to wind up that war. My most recent book is called War: How Conflict Shaped Us.
EXPs by Margaret MacMillan
Margaret MacMillan, Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Toronto, talks about our long history of going to war.
When you fight a total war, you are not just fighting the armies on the ground or the navies on the sea or the planes in the air. What you are fighting is the whole fabric behind.
Margaret MacMillan, Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Toronto, analyses why our societies are prone to fighting.
