Saving Europe (eBook, ePUB)

First World War Relief and American Identity

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Saving Europe offers a transnational and intersectional history of American food, war relief, and intervention in Europe between 1914 and 1924, a period when the United States simultaneously tightened its borders and expanded its reach. In that crucial decade after the outbreak of World War I, Americans saw themselves in a novel role as protectors of European cultural heritage and as rescuers of vulnerable populations, making them worthy successors to earlier global powers and serving as a harbinger for the later US global presence.
