John H. Maurer will be presenting his lecture, “Embattled Superpower: Churchill and Britain in the Aftermath of the First World War” as part of the Bernard and Irene Schwartz Distinguished Speakers Series at the New York Historical Society, co-sponsored by the New York Churchillians.

In the immediate aftermath of the First World War, Great Britain stood as a global superpower. Victory in war, however, did not bring peace. Instead, Britain found itself embroiled in intractable conflicts in Afghanistan, the Middle East, and (closer to home) Ireland. As secretary for war and colonial secretary, Winston Churchill served at the very center of British decision-making in fighting these conflicts and seeking settlements. John H. Maurer explores Churchill’s role in this pivotal period when Britain faced challenges to its leading position on the world stage from all sides.
