વર્ષ 1914 પહેલાં યુરોપ, અમેરિકા અને તેની વસાહતોમાં જવા માટે કોઈ વીઝા, પાસપૉર્ટની જરૂર પડતી ન હતી. પછી પહેલું વિશ્વ યુદ્ધ થયું અને સંજોગો બદલાઈ ગયા. દેશોએ પોતપોતાનો પ્રદેશ આંકી લીધો અને રાષ્ટ્રીય સરહદોની રેખાઓ તણાઈ ગઈ. એ પછી આર્થિક તંગી અને મંદીનો દૌર શરૂ થયો. રાષ્ટ્રવાદની ભાવના અતિ-રાષ્ટ્રવાદની ચરમસીમા પર પહોંચી ગઈ અને તે […]
