1. Peace Treaties after WWI & The Treaty of Versailles | 一战后的和平条约与凡尔赛条约
Treaty of Versailles: The most significant peace treaty of the post-World War I settlement, signed in June 1919 between the Allies and Germany. It forced Germany to accept the War Guilt Clause, pay immense reparations, reduce its army to 100,000 men, and surrender territories such as Alsace-Lorraine to France and the Polish Corridor to the newly formed Poland. Many Germans viewed it as a humiliating 'Diktat'.
凡尔赛条约：一战后最重要的和平条约，于 1919 年 6 月由协约国与德国签署。它迫使德国接受战争罪责条款、支付巨额赔款、将陆军裁减至十万，并割让阿尔萨斯-洛林给法国、将波兰走廊交给新生的波兰。许多德国人将其视为屈辱的"指令式和平"。
War Guilt Clause (Article 231): The article in the Treaty of Versailles that placed full moral and financial responsibility for the war on Germany and its allies. It served as the legal basis for imposing reparations and deeply angered the German population, fostering resentment that later fed into extremist politics.
战争罪责条款（第 231 条）：《凡尔赛条约》中将战争的全部道义与财政责任归咎于德国及其盟国的条款。该条款成为要求赔款的法律依据，并深深激怒了德国民众，滋生了后来助长极端政治的怨恨情绪。
Reparations: Payments demanded from Germany to compensate the Allies for the civilian damage and financial cost of the war. The sum was fixed at £6.6 billion in 1921, straining the German economy, contributing to hyperinflation in the 1920s, and remaining a persistent source of international tension until the Dawes and Young Plans restructured the payments.
赔款：要求德国向协约国支付的、用以补偿平民损伤与战争财政耗费的款项。1921 年赔款总额确定为 66 亿英镑，令德国经济承压，助长了 1920 年代的恶性通货膨胀，并在道威斯计划和杨格计划重组支付方式之前一直是国际紧张的一大根源。
Disarmament (Military Restrictions): The Treaty of Versailles severely limited Germany's armed forces to 100,000 volunteers, prohibited tanks, aircraft and submarines, and demilitarised the Rhineland. These measures were intended to prevent German rearmament and future aggression but later became a rallying cry for Hitler's policy of rearmament.
裁军（军备限制）：《凡尔赛条约》将德国武装力量严格限制在十万名志愿兵，禁止拥有坦克、飞机与潜艇，并使莱茵兰地区非军事化。这些措施意在阻止德国重新武装与未来侵略，但后来却成为希特勒重整军备政策的宣传口号。
Diktat: The German term for the Treaty of Versailles, meaning 'dictated peace'. It expressed the widespread belief among Germans that the treaty had been imposed upon them without negotiation, undermining its legitimacy and fostering the desire for revision that dominated German foreign policy in the interwar years.
指令式和平：德国人对《凡尔赛条约》的称呼，意为"由他方口授的和平"。这一用语表达了德国民众普遍认为该条约是未经协商强加的信念，削弱了其合法性，并滋生了贯穿两次大战之间德国外交政策的修正主义欲望。
2. The League of Nations & Collective Security | 国际联盟与集体安全
Collective Security: The core principle of the League of Nations, whereby all member states agreed to act together to protect any member threatened by aggression. The idea was that an attack on one would be treated as an attack on all, deterring aggressors. In practice, the League lacked the military force and unity to enforce collective security effectively.
集体安全：国际联盟的核心原则，即所有成员国同意共同行动以保护任何受侵略威胁的成员。其理念在于对一国的攻击将被视为对全体成员的攻击，从而威慑侵略者。实际上，国联缺乏武力和团结来有效执行集体安全。
Sanctions: Non-military penalties imposed by the League against an aggressor nation, designed to pressure it economically or diplomatically. Sanctions could include trade boycotts or breaking off diplomatic relations. The failure of sanctions against Italy during the Abyssinian Crisis in 1935–36 demonstrated the League's inability to restrain powerful aggressors.
制裁：国联对侵略国施加的非军事惩罚，旨在对其施加经济或外交压力。制裁可包括贸易抵制或断绝外交关系。1935–36 年阿比西尼亚危机中制裁意大利的失败，表明了国联无力约束强大的侵略者。
Covenant: The founding charter of the League of Nations, setting out its aims, structure, and rules. Every member was expected to abide by the Covenant, which included provisions for arbitration and cooling-off periods. The United States never joined, weakening the League from the start.
国联盟约：国际联盟的成立宪章，规定了其宗旨、结构与规则。每位会员国都被要求遵守盟约，其中包含仲裁和冷却期条款。美国从未加入，自一开始便削弱了国联。
Manchurian Crisis (1931–33): A major test for the League when Japan invaded Manchuria in northeast China. The League condemned the aggression but took no effective action, as its main powers were unwilling to impose military or severe economic sanctions. The crisis revealed the League's powerlessness and encouraged further aggression.
满洲危机（1931–33）：日本侵略中国东北的满洲时对国联的重大考验。国联谴责了侵略行为但未采取有效行动，因为其主要大国不愿实施军事或严厉经济制裁。这场危机暴露了国联的无能，并鼓动了进一步的侵略。
Abyssinian Crisis (1935–36): Italy's invasion of Abyssinia (Ethiopia) under Mussolini delivered a fatal blow to the League. Although economic sanctions were imposed, they excluded key resources like oil. The League's failure to protect its own member state destroyed any remaining confidence in collective security and emboldened Nazi Germany and Japan.
阿比西尼亚危机（1935–36）：墨索里尼统治下的意大利入侵阿比西尼亚（埃塞俄比亚），给国联以致命一击。虽然实施了经济制裁，但石油等关键资源被排除在外。国联未能保护自己的成员国，摧毁了人们对集体安全的任何残余信心，并壮了纳粹德国和日本的胆子。
3. Rise of Dictatorship | 独裁政权的崛起
Fascism: A far-right authoritarian political ideology, most closely associated with Mussolini's Italy, that glorifies the state above the individual, promotes extreme nationalism, opposes communism and democracy, and often uses paramilitary force and propaganda to maintain control. Fascist regimes are characterised by a single-party dictatorship led by a charismatic leader.
法西斯主义：一种极右翼威权政治意识形态，与墨索里尼的意大利联系最为紧密，它崇尚国家高于个人、宣扬极端民族主义、反对共产主义与民主，并常使用准军事力量和宣传来维持控制。法西斯政权的特征是拥有一位魅力领袖的一党专政。
Nazism (National Socialism): The ideology of Hitler's National Socialist German Workers' Party that combined extreme racism, anti-Semitism, anti-communism, and a belief in Aryan racial supremacy with expansionist ambitions for Lebensraum (living space). Nazi rule was marked by totalitarian control, terror, and the systematic persecution of minorities.
纳粹主义（国家社会主义）：希特勒的民族社会主义德意志工人党的意识形态，混合了极端种族主义、反犹主义、反共产主义与雅利安种族优越论，以及追求生存空间的扩张野心。纳粹统治以极权控制、恐怖和系统性迫害少数群体为标志。
Totalitarianism: A system of government where the state holds total authority over all aspects of public and private life. Totalitarian regimes, such as Stalin's USSR and Nazi Germany, use indoctrination, a secret police, censorship, and a single-party monopoly on power to eliminate any opposition or independent institutions.
极权主义：一种国家在公共和私人生活所有方面拥有全权的政府体制。极权政权，例如斯大林的苏联和纳粹德国，利用灌输、秘密警察、审查制度和一党权力垄断来消除任何反对派或独立机构。
Cult of Personality: A propaganda technique used by dictators to build an image of themselves as heroic, infallible leaders. In Stalin's USSR, he was portrayed as the 'Father of Nations'; in Nazi Germany, Hitler was depicted as the saviour of the German people. This helped secure loyalty and suppress dissent through quasi-religious devotion.
个人崇拜：独裁者使用的宣传手法，以将自己塑造为英勇、万无一失的领袖形象。在斯大林治下的苏联，他被描绘成"各族人民的父亲"；在纳粹德国，希特勒被描绘为德国人民的救星。这有助于通过近乎宗教般的忠诚来确保效忠并压制异见。
4. Appeasement & Road to WWII | 绥靖政策与二战之路
Appeasement: The foreign policy followed by Britain and France in the 1930s of making concessions to Hitler's territorial demands to avoid another general war. It was rooted in memories of WWI trauma, economic weakness, and a desire to avoid conflict. The Munich Agreement of 1938 became the iconic example, as it sacrificed Czechoslovakia for temporary peace.
绥靖政策：1930 年代英法为回避另一场全面战争而对希特勒的领土要求作出让步的外交政策。它植根于一战的创伤记忆、经济脆弱和避免冲突的渴望。1938 年的慕尼黑协定成为标志性例子，该协定为短暂和平而牺牲了捷克斯洛伐克。
Remilitarisation of the Rhineland (1936): A direct violation of the Treaty of Versailles and the Locarno Treaties when Hitler ordered German troops into the demilitarised Rhineland. Britain and France protested but did nothing. This gamble succeeded and greatly emboldened Hitler, accelerating his timetable for further aggression.
莱茵兰重军事化（1936）：希特勒命令德军开进非军事化的莱茵兰地区，公然违反《凡尔赛条约》及《洛迦诺公约》。英法提出抗议但未采取任何行动。这次冒险获得了成功，极大地壮了希特勒的胆，加快了他进一步侵略的步伐。
Anschluss: The annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany in March 1938. Although forbidden by the Treaty of Versailles, Hitler exploited a political crisis to march troops in unopposed. A plebiscite afterwards claimed overwhelming Austrian support for the union, effectively absorbing Austria into the Third Reich.
德奥合并：1938 年 3 月纳粹德国对奥地利的吞并。尽管被《凡尔赛条约》禁止，希特勒利用一场政治危机令军队在未遭遇抵抗的情况下进入。事后举行的公民投票声称绝大多数奥地利人支持合并，从而将奥地利有效地并入第三帝国。
Munich Agreement (1938): A pact signed by Britain, France, Italy, and Germany that forced Czechoslovakia to surrender the Sudetenland to Germany. Britain's Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain famously declared it had secured 'peace for our time'. The agreement handed key defenses to Hitler and convinced Stalin that Western powers would not stand up to aggression.
慕尼黑协定（1938）：由英、法、意、德签署、强迫捷克斯洛伐克将苏台德区割让给德国的协定。英国首相张伯伦著名地宣称它带来了"我们时代的和平"。该协定将关键防线交给了希特勒，并使斯大林相信西方国家不会对抗侵略。
Nazi-Soviet Pact (1939): A non-aggression treaty between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, signed in August 1939, which included secret protocols dividing Poland and the Baltic states into spheres of influence. The pact stunned the world and removed the threat of a two-front war for Hitler, enabling the invasion of Poland and the outbreak of World War II.
《苏德互不侵犯条约》（1939）：纳粹德国与苏联于 1939 年 8 月签署的互不侵犯条约，其中包含分割波兰和波罗的海国家势力范围的秘密议定书。该条约震惊世界，为希特勒解除了两线作战的威胁，使得入侵波兰和第二次世界大战的爆发成为可能。
5. The Cold War Begins | 冷战的开端
Iron Curtain: A term popularised by Winston Churchill in a 1946 speech to describe the ideological, political, and physical division of Europe between the Soviet-dominated Eastern Bloc and the democratic West. The curtain cut off Eastern Europe from the rest of the continent, symbolising the growing Cold War tensions.
铁幕：温斯顿·丘吉尔在 1946 年一篇演说中推广的用语，用以描述苏联主导的东欧集团与民主西方之间意识形态、政治与地理上的分隔。这层铁幕将东欧与欧洲其余部分隔开，象征着不断升级的冷战紧张局势。
Containment: The cornerstone of U.S. Cold War policy, designed to prevent the spread of communism beyond its existing borders. Formulated by diplomat George Kennan, it led to military alliances, economic aid, and interventions worldwide, including the Korean and Vietnam Wars, shaping American foreign policy for decades.
遏制政策：美国冷战政策的基石，旨在防止共产主义扩展至已有边界之外。由外交官乔治·凯南提出，该政策导致了军事同盟、经济援助以及全球范围的干预，包括朝鲜战争和越南战争，塑造了数十年的美国外交。
Truman Doctrine (1947): President Truman’s declaration that the United States would provide political, military, and economic assistance to all democratic nations under threat from internal or external authoritarian forces. It was initially applied to Greece and Turkey, marking a definitive break with isolationism and a commitment to active intervention.
杜鲁门主义（1947）：杜鲁门总统发表的声明，宣布美国将向所有受到内外部威权势力威胁的民主国家提供政治、军事与经济援助。该政策最初应用于希腊和土耳其，标志着美国彻底告别孤立主义，转而对积极干预作出承诺。
Marshall Plan (1948): A massive U.S. economic aid programme that provided billions of dollars to rebuild Western European economies after WWII. The plan aimed to restore prosperity, prevent the spread of communism by addressing poverty, and create stable trading partners. It was rejected by the Soviet Union and its satellite states.
马歇尔计划（1948）：美国大规模经济援助计划，为二战后西欧经济的重建提供了数十亿美元。该计划旨在恢复繁荣、通过消除贫困来防止共产主义蔓延，并建立稳定的贸易伙伴。苏联及其卫星国拒绝了这一计划。
Berlin Blockade & Airlift (1948–49): In response to Western moves to unify their zones of Germany and introduce a new currency, Stalin blockaded all road and rail access to West Berlin. The Western Allies responded with a massive airlift, flying in supplies for almost a year. Stalin lifted the blockade in May 1949, a major Western victory that cemented the division of Germany into two states.
柏林封锁与空运（1948–49）：为回应西方统一德国占领区并引入新货币的举措，斯大林封锁了通往西柏林的所有公路和铁路。西方盟国以大规模空运作为回应，在近一年时间里空运物资。斯大林于 1949 年 5 月解除封锁，这是西方的一次重大胜利，巩固了德国分为两个国家的格局。
NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization): A military alliance formed in 1949 by the United States, Canada, and ten Western European nations, based on the principle of collective defense (an attack on one is an attack on all). NATO provided a formal American commitment to European security and directly countered Soviet military power throughout the Cold War.
北约（北大西洋公约组织）：1949 年由美国、加拿大及十个西欧国家组成的军事同盟，以集体防御原则（对一国的攻击即是对全体的攻击）为基础。北约向欧洲安全作出了美国的正式承诺，在整个冷战期间直接对抗苏联的军事力量。
Warsaw Pact (1955): The Soviet-led military alliance of Eastern European communist states, created in response to West Germany joining NATO. The pact included the USSR, Poland, East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, with Albania withdrawing later. It ensured Soviet military dominance over Eastern Europe and suppressed revolts like the Hungarian Uprising.
华沙条约组织（1955）：为回应西德加入北约而建立的、由苏联主导的东欧共产主义国家军事同盟。该组织包括苏联、波兰、东德、捷克斯
