America's French Orphans
During and after World War I, two humanitarian organizations galvanized the support of American men, women, and children to provide for France's children. Between 1914 and 1921, the Committee Franco-American for the Protection of the Children of the Frontier (CFAPCF) and the Fatherless Children of France Society (FCFS) capitalized on the generosity of Americans who believed that supporting a French child in need was seen as a moral and patriotic …

Children Saving Children
In January 1918, Teddy Brown from Fairbanks, Alaska, was coming home. As he entered the house, the ten-year-old boy slammed the door shut, stormed into the living room, and demanded that his parents put on their coats. Teddy solemnly proclaimed that he had heard harrowing stories about French children's sufferings and wanted to contribute a weekly donation of seventy-five cents in order to help “a brother” in France. After listening to his pleas,…
African Americans, World War I, and the Awakening of a “Colored” Manifest Destiny
Different aspects of the African American experience during World War One have been covered since the release in 1974 of Florette Henri’s and Arthur E. Barbeau’s The Unknown Soldiers: African American Troops in World War I . All these studies concur in their assumptions that World War One opened up a new quest for full citizenships and galvanized soldiers and officers alike. A new era started right in the middle of the conflict fueling African Am…
L’espoir et la peur. Première Guerre mondiale, conscription et révolution irlandaise (1916-1918)
L’insurrection du 24 avril 1916 reste indissociable de la profonde transformation de la société irlandaise. En plein conflit mondial, alors que les armées britanniques combattent sur le front de la Somme et préparent les grandes offensives de l’été 1916, une poignée de rebelles se soulèvent contre l’Empire britannique. En quelques heures, le centre-ville de Dublin ressemble à un véritable champ de bataille. Les historiens de la révolution irlanda…

Future directions in rural history
A social history of Ireland (encompassing rural communities) is needed if historians are to fully come to terms with what really happened between 1914 and 1918 and to properly tackle the question of ‘consent’ and ‘constraint’ in relation to the war effort. In addition, historians need to devote a comprehensive book-length research to the April 1918 Conscription Crisis in Ulster (but more generally to the anti-conscription movement in Ulster), det…

Conscription, rural populations and the dynamics of war and revolution in Ireland (1914–18)
Drawing on secret witness reports from Intelligence Officers of the Royal Irish Constabulary, and diplomatic correspondence from France’s representatives to Dublin and London, this article seeks to complement recent historiography and qualify our understanding of the period 1914–18 by engaging fully with the issue of compulsory military service from the outbreak of the conflict. It contemplates how fears of conscription contributed to the radical…
Ireland and the Great War
Gallagher investigates Catholic responses to the war effort during the global conflict, doing so through a thorough analysis of the home front in Ireland. In this first ever-published social history of Ireland and the Great War, she argues that Catholic Ireland supported the British and Allied war effort, therefore questioning the anti-war picture often projected onto Catholic Ireland and challenging the view that the Great War was not Ireland’s …
Nobody's Children”? Political Responses to the Homecoming of First World War Veterans in Northern and Southern Ireland, 1918–1929
At the time when Irish veterans of the Great War were being demobilized, Ireland was in a period of profound social, political, and cultural change that was irreversibly transforming the island. Armistice and the veterans’ relief at having survived the conflict and being back with family could not eclipse the overwhelming political climate they met on their homecoming. This article draws on the 1929 Report by the Committee on Claims of British Ex…
The impact of political unrest in Ireland on Irish soldiers in the British army, 1914–18
In order better to understand the impact of political unrest in Ireland on Irish troops fighting in the First World War, it is necessary to acknowledge that the role of the 1916 Rising has been significantly overestimated, while the influence of the 1914 home rule crisis and the repercussions of the anti-conscription movement have been underestimated. The 1914 home rule crisis significantly impacted on the Germans’ view of the Irish and condition…
Les anciens combattants irlandais de la Première Guerre mondiale
Les études actuelles consacrées à l'Armée républicaine irlandaise (IRA) concluent que pendant la guerre d'indépendance (1919-1921) les républicains ciblaient délibérément les survivants des tranchées pour les punir de leur engagement auprès des Britanniques au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale. Or, en sollicitant des témoignages de rescapés, il s'avère que très peu d'entre eux imputent leurs souffrances à leur participation au premier conflit …
