Latin America and the First World War

This book goes beyond traditional diplomatic history and analyses the global dimension of the history of the Great War. Filling a gap in transnational histories of the war, the author addresses political, social, and economic aspects as well as the cultural impact of the war on Latin America - and vice versa. The research is based on sources from the nineteen independent states of the sub-continent. The book is presented as the most comprehensive examination to date of Latin America before, during, and immediately after the war.
