Winner of the World War One Historical Association's 2021 Norman B.
Tomlinson, Jr. Prize Global War, Global Catastrophe presents a
history of the First World War as an all-consuming industrial war
that forcibly reshaped the international environment and, with it,
impacted the futures of all the world's people. Narrated
chronologically, and available open access, the authors identify
key themes and moments that radicalized the war's conduct and
globalized its impact, affecting neutral and belligerent societies
alike. These include Germany's invasion of Belgium and Britain's
declaration of war in 1914, the expansion of economic warfare in
1915, anti-imperial resistance, the Russian revolutions of 1917 and
the United States' entry into the war. Each chapter explains how
individuals, communities, nation-states and empires experienced,
considered and behaved in relationship to the conflict as it
evolved into a total global war. Above all, the book argues that
only by integrating the history of neutral and subject communities
can we fully understand what made the First World War such a
globally transformative event. This book offers an accessible and
readable overview of the major trajectories of the global history
of the conflict. It offers an innovative history of the First World
War and an important alternative to existing belligerent-centric
studies. The ebook editions of this book are available open access
under a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
