THE FIRST WORLD WAR AND THE SHAPING OF TWENTIETH-CENTURY EUROPE
The experience and legacy of the First World War has been linked to nearly every social, cultural, and political transformation that marked the short century that followed: mobilization and the experience of total war transformed the relations between governments and citizens, between men and women, and between social classes. Europeans experienced death on an unprecedented scale and came to terms with new forms of industrialized warfare, from the use of poison gas to modern practices of genocide. Europeans now learned to live with violence, both during as well as after the war, and found new ways to mourn or remember the dead. Using a wide variety of contemporary sources -- memoirs, essays, poems, or cinematic representations -- situates the upheaval of 1914-1918 within the larger framework of twentieth-century European history.
