The authors analyze the period between the Italian invasion of Libya in 1911 and the mass violence that followed the collapse of the Ottoman, Russian, and Austrian empires up to 1923. The work invites us to understand the Great War as a global conflict of empires, where millions of subjects were mobilized to defend imperial interests in non-European theaters, the outcome of which not only meant the fall of dynasties but the end of a world order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEmpires at War, 1911-1923\u003c\/em\u003e challenges the traditional narrative that places the First World War between 1914 and 1918. Manuela Erez and Robert Gerwarth propose an analysis that integrates the violent conflicts that preceded and followed the Great War, offering a broader and more complex perspective. The book examines how the war was not a confrontation between nation-states, but a struggle between multinational empires (Ottoman, Russian, Austro-Hungarian) that mobilized their populations on fronts ranging from North Africa to the Caucasus. The reader will witness the drama of millions of people called upon to defend imperial interests, and will understand how mass violence continued until 1923, with the collapse of these empires and the reconfiguration of the world map.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRevision of the chronological framework of the First World War (1911-1923).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of the war as a conflict between empires, not between nation-states.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eStudy of mass violence  and the collapse of the Ottoman, Russian, and Austrian empires.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMobilization of imperial subjects in non-European war theaters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eGeopolitical consequences and the end of the global imperial order.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in contemporary history, the First World War, and imperial studies.
