  The Great War was a turning point of the 20th century as it gave a birth to a new, modern and industrial approach to warfare that changed the world forever. The remembrance, awareness and knowledge of the conflict and most importantly, of those who participated and were affected by it, was different from country to country and in some places it has been almost forgotten.

  New research strategies have emerged to help broaden our understanding of World War I. Multidisciplinary approaches have been applied to material culture and conflict landscapes, from archive sources analysis and aerial photography to remote sensing, GIS and field research. This book combines papers from different study fields that present multidisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches towards researching the First World War and its legacies, with particular concentration on the central and eastern European theatres of war.
