Latin America and the First World War

Book Presentation, Lecture and Discussion: Professor Stefan Rinke (Freie Universität Berlin) and Discussant Professor Charles Lock (University of Copenhagen).

Using a broad variety of textual and visual sources, this book goes beyond traditional diplomatic history and analyzes the global dimension of the history of the Great War.

Filling a significant gap in transnational histories of the war, Stefan Rinke addresses political, social, and economic aspects as well as the cultural impact of the war on Latin America and vice versa.

Rinke's meticulous research promises to be the most comprehensive examination to date of Latin America before, during, and immediately after the war.
