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.

After four decades from the 1982 war between Britain and Argentina over possession of the Falklands/Malvinas islands in the South Atlantic Ocean, this book allows for a new and rounded reading of the causes, course and consequences of the war.

This book explores the military and economic contributions of European reservists in Argentina and Argentine-born volunteers to the First World War. Drawing on primary sources in five languages, it explores all stages of the military mobilisation process—the recruitment and selection of reservists and volunteers, their transfer to the war theatre, training and assignment to units, diverse wartime and combat experiences, demobilisation, return to Argentina, and reintegration into civilian life. Additionally, it examines the economic mobilisation of these communities in support of the war effort, the variations in their responses to recruitment, and, in the aftermath of the war, the commemoration of their human and material contributions.Part of the Wars and Battles of the World series, this book will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of military history, migration studies, nationalism studies, global and transnational history, First World War studies, and Argentine and Latin American history.
