The great war, 1918-1941
International conference - 25 to 27 June - Amiens

To extend the Great War until 1923 is to make use of one of the main historiographical advances of the Centenary, namely, the expansion of the conflict’s time-frame before 1914 but above all after 1918. As the final phase of a conflict that did not end in 1918, 1918-1923 corresponds to the difficult processes of exiting the war.
