THE GREAT WAR IN BELGIUM AND THE NETHERLANDS GE...

This book addresses the many avenues that are still left unexplored when it comes to our
understanding of the First World War in the Low Countries. With the ongoing the centenary of
the Great War  many events have been organized in the United Kingdom to commemorate its
military events  its socio-political consequences  and its cultural legacy. Of these events 
very few have paid attention to the fates of Belgium or the Netherlands  even though it was the
invasion of Belgium in August 1914 that was the catalyst for Great Britain declaring war. The
occupation of Belgium had long-term consequences for its people  but much of the military and
social history of the Western Front concentrates on northern France  and the Netherlands is
largely forgotten as a nation affected by the First World War. By opening the field beyond the
military and beyond the front  this collection explores the interdisciplinary and international
nature of the Great War.
