Description

Denmark, Norway, and Sweden all managed to stay out of the First World War, but all three were deeply affected by it. When the trade war and blockades came into play, the Scandinavian countries were subject to relentless pressure. Inflation and shortages of consumer goods caused widespread hardship and, ultimately, political unrest. The result was the widening social divide and bitter political divisions that marked the interwar years.
In Scandinavia in the First World War, the authors analyse aspects of the military and economic consequences of the Great War, and explore how intellectuals engaged in political propaganda and the peace movement. They also look at the experiences of the groups who came into immediate contact with the war: seamen, journalists, volunteer nurses, and thousands of Scandinavian soldiers.
With a comparative introduction to the history of the Scandinavian countries during the First World War and detailed case-studies, this volume presents a wide-ranging survey of the situation in the neutral Scandinavian states.With its cross-disciplinary approach, it touches on cultural, social, and military history, as well as literary and minority studies.
Information text in swedish about the book:
Danmark, Norge och Sverige lyckades samtliga klara sig utan direkt inblandning det första vĂ€rldskriget. Men kriget, som nĂ€stan hela Europa deltog i, kom Ă€ndĂ„ att pĂ„ mĂ„nga sĂ€tt dominera livet Ă€ven i Skandinavien – neutraliteten till trots. I Scandinavia in the First World War undersöker historiker och litteraturvetare de strömningarna, och analyserar militĂ€ra och ekonomiska konsekvenser av konflikten.
Handelskrig och blockader skapade varubrist, fattigdom och oundvikligen Àven politisk oro. Detta mÀrktes i de ökande sociala klyftorna och bittra Äsiktsskillnader som kom att bestÄ under mellankrigstiden. Somliga mÀnniskor kom ocksÄ i direkt beröring med kriget: sjömÀn, journalister, frivilliga sjuksköterskor och tusentals soldater som krigade under frÀmmande flagg.
Bokens inledande översikt och nyanserade detaljstudier utgör en fyllig helhet som iscensÀtter verkligheten som den upplevdes av mÀnniskorna i Norden i krigets skugga.
»This is an important book for anyone interested in the broader impact of the Great War.« Chicago Press
»Scandinavia in the First World War really is a must if you want to get to know Scandinavia in 1914-18 and also paints vital background for the stance in 1939« Lars Gyllenhaal
