SUMMARY:Was it a Great War? A Symposium on the Social and Political Consequences of World War I
DESCRIPTION:Was it a Great War? A Symposium on the Social and Political Consequences of World War I \nApril 2017 will mark the one hundredth anniversary of the United States’ entry into what was then known as the Great War.  In commemoration\, the Benjamin W. Schmidt Professorship in War\, Conflict\, and Society\, along with the Department of History\, will present a public symposium that invites the TCU and Fort Worth communities to reflect on the war’s meaning and significance. \nMany Americans know little about the First World War.  American participation was comparatively brief\, and the war failed to capture the cultural imagination in ways that later wars did.  As historians maintain\, however\, in many ways the war inaugurated the twentieth century.  The world’s first technological war\, it introduced modern weaponry that forever changed the face of war and that inflicted unprecedented physical and mental wounds that haunted a generation.  Despite the iconic image of the trench as the symbol of the war on the Western Front\, the war required the movement of millions of people\, for whom the war proved a transformative experience.  Among those millions were women\, African Americans\, and colonial subjects who served their countries even as their countries failed to recognize them as full citizens.  The one hundredth anniversary of the U.S. entry into the war marks an opportune moment to consider the war’s political and social consequences. \nThis symposium will bring together nine accomplished scholars whose work considers the ways the war changed the political\, social\, and cultural landscapes of the United States\, Europe\, and the world.  The symposium will allow the scholars to engage in conversation with each other\, students\, and the public about whether\, in fact\, it was a “Great War.”  The first session will answer that question by examining the political meanings of the war.  The second session will continue the examination by shifting our focus to a consideration of whether the war as “Great” for societies\, peoples\, and cultures.  Because of its broad focus\, the symposium will be of tremendous interest to students taking courses in fields such as history\, English\, political science\, international relations\, and military science.  It will also appeal widely to the public\, whose interest in the war is likely to be piqued on this important anniversary. \nSpeakers \nRichard S.
