Description

This module explores the European experience of the First World War. Drawing upon the historiographical idea of a ‘Great War Era’ that lasted from the 1911 Italian invasion of Libya, until the Treaty of Lausanne, and Ruhr occupation, in 1923, it examines the war experience in Western, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, and relationships between the First World War and European colonialism, interrogating:

- Why the First World War is described as a ‘total war’;

- How the war impacted upon civilians, with particular focus upon gender, genocide, humanitarianism and refugee themes;

- How Empire framed European attitudes to the conflict.
