Call for Papers

The experience of minorities in the First World War is one of the most significant, yet least developed aspects of the conflict"s history. It is now over twenty years since the major conference on "National and Racial Minorities in Total War" which spurred the highly influential volume: Minorities in Wartime. With the centenary of the First World War fast approaching, it seems a particularly appropriate time to revisit this subject.

International Conference on the Occasion of the First Centennial of the Beginning of the First World War

The aim of the Conference is to consider the causes, the course, and the political, social and economic consequences of the First World War on the basis of new historical research in the context of European and more specifically Balkan history. The conference will also explore the legacy of World War One and its place in collective memory today. It intends to highlight the significance of the First World War for Eastern and Southeastern European societies but at the same time will consider the larger European and international picture.

The study of war and warfare through the centuries has generated increasing scholarly attention over the last years. In the resulting literature, historians have tended to focus on pre-war settings, war experiences, and the influence of war memories on national identities. Yet, despite the well-known case of the post-1945 period, it is only recently that scholars working in the field of the so-called "New Military History" have discovered the study of post-war epochs as times of reconstruction and thus as a rewarding fields of historical inquiry.

International Conference, Princeton University April 2013

The Second World War transformed Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. German dreams of racial purity in the East resulted in mass death, displacement, and the near total eradication of East European Jewry. The defeat of Hitler's Reich enabled the Soviets to extend their own empire in Eastern Europe, as the advancing Red Army brought new territories under Moscow's control. The enormity of the war's impact is widely known – and as a result rarely examined in detail.
