This unit comprises a survey of the major debates surrounding the First World War. Key themes include the origins of the war; the global nature of the conflict; the social impact of the conflict (particularly as regards women); the war's impact on media and methods of state control; the effect of the conflict on emerging nationalisms (such as in Canada, Australia and New Zealand); the emergence of the United States as a global power; the emergence of international institutions; the impact of industrialisation and modern military technologies; the economic and political consequences of the war (including the Russian Revolution); and the remembrance and representation of the conflict through memorialisation, literature, film and other media since 1918.
