The first comprehensive analysis of the various ways in which the Great War affected urban life in East Asia, South Europe, Latin America, and Africa.
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 United States, and US 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 to 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.
