During the First World War, mass media achieved an enormous and continuously growing importance in all belligerent countries. Newspaper, illustrated magazines, comics, pamphlets, and instant books, fi ctional works, photography, and the new-born “theater of imagery”, the cinema, were crucial in order to create a heroic vision of the events, to mobilize and maintain the consensus on the war. But their role was pivotal also in creating the image of the war’s end and fi nally, together with a widespread, new literary genre, the war memoirs, to shape the collective memory of the confl ict for the next generations.

Rather, America became a sounding board for the critical assessment of societal changes at home. Many Italians did not think the United States had lessons to teach them and often concluded that life across t...
Der italienische Kriegseintritt im Mai 1915 eröffnete im Süden Europas eine neue Front, die von der Weltkriegsgeschichtsschreibung lange Der italienische Kriegseintritt im Mai 1915 eröffnete im Süden Europas eine neue Front, die von der Weltkriegsgeschichtsschreibung lange vernachlässigt wurde. Hundert Jahre nach Beginn des Ersten Weltkrieges stellt dieser Band darum einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Analyse des österreichisch-italienischen Krieges in den Alpen und am Isonzo dar. Ausgewiesene Historikerinnen und Historiker aus Österreich, Deutschland und Italien beschäftigen sich – jeweils in Parallelgeschichten – mit sechs zentralen Themenbereichen der Weltkriegsgeschichte in den beiden Staaten: der Rolle von Regierung und Politik, der militärischen Kriegführung, der Erfahrungsgeschichte der Soldaten, der Geschichte von gesellschaftlicher Mobilisierung und Propaganda sowie der Kriegserinnerung und der Geschichtsschreibung bis in die Gegenwart.
