1916 in Global Context

"1916 In Global Context: An Anti-Imperial Moment 54" by Enrico Dal Lago, Róisín Healy, Gearóid Barry, published by Routledge/Taylor & Francis Group. The year 1916 has recently been identified as "a tipping point for the intensification of protests, riots, uprisings and even revolutions." Many of these constituted a challenge to the international pre-war order of empires, and thus collectively represent a global anti-imperial moment, which was the revolutionary counterpart to the later diplomatic attempt to construct a new world order in the so-called Wilsonian moment. Chief among such events was the Easter Rising in Ireland, an occurrence that took on worldwide significance as a challenge to the established order. This is the first collection of specialist studies that aims at interpreting the global significance of the year 1916 in the decline of empires. Book details: 248 pages, published 2018.
