At the Periphery of a World War?
The First World War and its aftermath were significant events with widespread consequences that impacted everyday people. This book is the first comprehensive analysis of the various ways in which the Great War affected urban life, extending beyond the typically recognized regions such as the European Great powers, the USA, and its colonies and spheres of influence. It explores the impacts on peripheral cities in East Asia, South Europe, Latin America, and Africa, which have often been overlooked in the historiography of the 1914-1918 conflict. Despite their historical neglect, these urban areas felt the repercussions of the war as it reshaped their structures, rhythms, and daily routines. This transformation influenced both private and public life, highlighting the crucial role these cities played as actors during wartime.

The Global First World War
This volume deals with the multiple impacts of the First World War on societies from South Europe, Latin America, Asia and Africa, usually largely overlooked by the historiography on the conflict. Due to the lesser intensity of their military involvement in the war (neutrals or latecomers), these countries or regions were considered "peripheral" as a topic of research. However, in the last two decades, the advances of global history recovered their importance as active wartime actors and that of their experiences. This book will reconstruct some experiences and representations of the war that these societies built during and after the conflict from the prism of mediators between the war fought in the battlefields and their homes, as well as the local appropriations and resignifications of their experiences and testimonies.
Revival After the Great War
The challenges of post-war recovery from social and political reform to architectural design In the months and years immediately following the First World War, the many (European) countries that had formed its battleground were confronted with daunting challenges. These challenges varied according to the countries' earlier role and degree of involvement in the war but were without exception enormous. The contributors to this book analyse how this was not only a matter of rebuilding ravaged cities and destroyed infrastructure, but also of repairing people’s damaged bodies and upended daily lives, and rethinking and reforming societal, economic and political structures. These processes took ...
The Chiwaya War
The Chiwaya War's basic conclusions are that the First World War was a major turning point in the history of Malawi's peoples, creating the first glimmers of a shared national identity; and that it marked, more than any event before or since, the entry of Malawians into the emerging modern world system far more quickly than likely they, and certainly even the most enlightened British colonial administrators of the time, would have preferred.
