The immediate effects of World War I were for the most part only too regular army was transformed into a massive conscript force and where the state came to involve itself directly in many areas of daily life. These changes are well-documented. This book provides an analysis of the effects of World War I beyond the immediate experience of the struggle. Each contributor considers the war as a catalyst of coming change, as a revolutionary influence, and as a force for reaction. The interpretative problem of identifying the onset of developments specific to the interwar period is also addressed.
