This anthology surveys the ecological impacts of the First World
War. Editors Richard P. Tucker, Tait Keller, J. R. McNeill, and
Martin Schmidt bring together a list of experienced authors who
explore the global interactions of states, armies, civilians, and
the environment during the war. They show how the First World War
ushered in enormous environmental changes, including the
devastation of rural and urban environments, the consumption of
strategic natural resources such as metals and petroleum, the
impact of war on urban industry, and the disruption of agricultural
landscapes leading to widespread famine. Taking a global
perspective, Environmental Histories of the First World War
presents the ecological consequences of the vast destructive power
of the new weaponry and the close collaboration between militaries
and civilian governments taking place during this time, showing how
this war set trends for the rest of the century.
