Empires at War, 1911-1923 offers a new perspective on the history
of the Great War. It expands the story of the war both in time and
space to include the violent conflicts that preceded and followed
the First World War, from the 1911 Italian invasion of Libya to the
massive violence that followed the collapse of the Ottoman,
Russian, and Austrian empires until 1923. It also presents the war
as a global war of empires rather than a a European war between
nation-states. This volume tells the story of the millions of
imperial subjects called upon to defend their imperial governments'
interest, the theatres of war that lay far beyond Europe, and the
wartime roles and experiences of innumerable peoples from outside
the European continent. Empires at War covers the broad, global
mobilizations that saw African solders and Chinese labourers in the
trenches of the Western Front, Indian troops in Jerusalem, and the
Japanese military occupying Chinese territory. Finally, the volume
shows how the war set the stage for the collapse not only of
specific empires, but of the imperial world order writ large.
