Our view of the First World War is dominated by the twin images of
the fronts and the home fronts, yet the war also generated a third
type of 'front', that of military occupation. Vast areas of Europe
experienced the war under a military regime and this book deals
with the occupations by the German and Austro-Hungarian empires.
Their conquests ranged from Lille in the West to the Don River in
the East, and from Courland in the north to Friuli and Montenegro
in the south. They encompassed capital cities such as Brussels,
Warsaw, Belgrade and Bukarest, as well as areas of crucial economic
importance. Millions of people experienced military occupation and,
even though they were civilians, the war had a deep impact on their
lives. Conversely, occupied territories influenced the states that
had conquered them and the way these states waged war. The chapters
in this book analyze military occupation in 1914-1918 both from the
point of view of the occupied and from the point of view of the
occupier. They study counter-insurgency warfare, forced labour,
food regimes, underground patriotism, and cultural policies. They
demonstrate that military occupation was an essential dimension of
the Great War. This book was originally published as a special
issue of First World War Studies.
