Beschreibung
The First World War is often described as a regional war
with few repercussions beyond Europe. However, by the dawn
of the 20th century, global political and economic
entanglements of empires and nation states had reached
unprecedented dimensions. Consequently, the war affected the
lives of millions of combatants and civilians alike:
politically, socially and culturally.
This book shifts the Eurocentric focus of Europeans fighting
and dying on European battlefields to a broader, global
perspective. With local accounts and perceptions ranging
from Argentina to Afghanistan, from Iran to Senegal, the
volume sheds light on the multitude of contributions to and
consequences of the First World War all around the world.
