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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maartje Abbenhuis, Ismee Tames\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474275869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474275866\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Maartje Abbenhuis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43944588378367,"sku":"9781474275866","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_72029060-6dc8-4e79-942d-654c8a8e39b8.jpg?v=1681504306","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/global-war-global-catastrophe-maartje-abbenhuis-9781474275866","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
