The British Empire and the First World War

The British Empire played a crucial part in the First World War, supplying thousands of soldiers and labourers as well as a range of essential resources. Many imperial territories were deeply affected by wartime phenomena, such as inflation, food shortages, combat, and the presence of foreign troops. This book offers a comprehensive selection of essays illuminating the extent of the Empire’s war contribution and experience, and the richness of scholarly research on the subject. Each chapter was originally published in Australian Historical Studies, The Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History, First World War Studies or The Round Table: The Commonwealth Journal of International Affairs.
