Using a comparative approach, it explores the diverse roles played by monarchs during the Great War, and how these met the expectations of the monarchic institution in different states at a time of such crisis. Its contributors not only explore less familiar narratives, including the experiences of monarchs in Belgium and Italy, as well as the Austro-Hungarian, Japanese and Ottoman Empires, but also cast fresh light on more familiar accounts. In doing so, this book moves away from the conventional view that monarchy showed itself irrelevant in the Great War, by drawing on new approaches to diplomatic and international history - ones informed by cultural contextualization for instance - while grounding the research behind each chapter in a wide range of contemporary sources The chapters provide an innovative revisiting of the actual role of monarchy at this crucial period in European (indeed, global) history, and are framed by a substantial introductory chapter where the key factors explaining the survival or collapse of dynasties, and of the individuals occupying these thrones, are considered in a wide-ranging set of reflections that highlight the extent of common experiences as well as the differences. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Modern Monarchy,$x2947-5872 606 $aMilitary history 606 $aCivilization$xHistory 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aMilitary History 606 $aCultural History 606 $aHistory of Modern Europe 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aModern History 615 0$aMilitary history. 615 0$aCivilization$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 14$aMilitary History. 615 24$aCultural History. 615 24$aHistory of Modern Europe. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aModern History. 676 $a321.6 702 $aGlencross$b Matthew$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRowbotham$b Judith$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299805103321 996 $aMonarchies and the Great War$92540728 997 $aUNINA
