Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Injustement méconnu, le front d’Orient a pourtant joué un rôle décisif dans l’issue de la Première Guerre mondiale. Max Schiavon propose de revisiter la Grande Guerre dans les Balkans. D’avril 1915 à fin 1918, les armées alliées d’Orient (britannique, française, italienne, serbe, russe puis grecque) affrontent dans des conditions effroyables les troupes turques, austro-hongroises, allemandes et bulgares. Au plus fort de la bataille, ce sont près de 600 000 hommes de part et d’autre qui s’opposent. Les débarquements et les combats des Dardanelles débutent en avril 1915, avec l’objectif de prendre Constantinople. Décevants, sanglants, ils vont durer neuf mois, au terme desquels les Alliés prennent conscience de l’ampleur du désastre et de l’échec de l’opération. Puis, pendant deux ans, les tensions entre Alliés, le manque de troupes et la complexité de la situation se conjuguent et aboutissent, malgré quelques opérations, à une quasi-neutralisation du front de Salonique. Des centaines de milliers d’hommes y sont immobilisés, souvent dans l’inaction et la douleur, car loin d’avoir vécu une expédition exotique, « la fleur au fusil », les poilus d’Orient y ont connu des souffrances terribles, autant si ce n’est plus qu’en France. Il faut attendre fin 1917 pour que le général Guillaumat, nommé à la tête des armées alliées, redresse la situation et permette à son successeur, le général Franchet d’Esperey, de disposer d’une force efficace et puissante. Ce dernier, grâce à ses talents de stratège et à son audace, va conduire les armées alliées d’Orient à la victoire, imposer des armistices à la Bulgarie et à la Turquie, accélérant ainsi la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale.

Book excerpt: De mars 1915 à mars 1919, des soldats français meurent en Orient. Aux Dardanelles d'abord, en combattant les Turcs encadrés par les Allemands. Mustafa Kemal y remporte la victoire sous les ordres de Liman von Sanders. A Salonique ensuite, où débarque un corps expéditionnaire pour le moins bigarré, comprenant des Britanniques et des Français bien sûr, mais aussi des Serbes chassés de leur pays, des Russes envoyés en renfort, des Siciliens et des Sardes, des Albanais, et, sur la fin, des Grecs. Les Sénégalais, les Marocains, les zouaves pieds-noirs, les marsouins meurent en première ligne au côté des joyeux des compagnies disciplinaires. A la fin de 1918, on expédie ces courageux en Roumanie pour tenir le front sud de la Russie contre les bolcheviks. Quand la flotte française de la mer Noire se mutine, ils sont enfin rapatriés. Ceux que Clemenceau appelait avec mépris les " jardiniers de Salonique " auront donc fait la guerre cinq mois de plus que les autres. Décimés par les maladies autant que par la mitraille, commandés par des généraux écartés du théâtre des d'Esperey, les poilus d'Orient auront terriblement souffert de l'isolement moral sur un front mal ravitaillé. Mais alors pourquoi, le moment venu, et en dépit de la réussite de leur percée sur le Danube, seront-ils les grands oubliés de la Victoire ? Cette épopée mal connue de la Première Guerre mondiale est ici racontée avec verve et passion par Pierre Miquel, dont les ouvrages sur la Grande Guerre font depuis longtemps référence.

Download or read book Expeditionary Forces in the First World War written by Alan Beyerchen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When war engulfed Europe in 1914, the conflict quickly took on global dimensions. Although fighting erupted in Africa and Asia, the Great War primarily pulled troops from around the world into Europe and the Ottoman Empire. Amid the fighting were large numbers of expeditionary forces—and yet they have remained largely unstudied as a collective phenomenon, along with the term “expeditionary force” itself. This collection examines the expeditionary experience through a wide range of case studies. They cover major themes such as the recruitment, transport, and supply of far-flung troops; the cultural and linguistic dissonance, as well as gender relations, navigated by soldiers in foreign lands; the political challenge of providing a rationale to justify their dislocation and sacrifice; and the role of memory and memorialization. Together, these essays open up new avenues for understanding the experiences of soldiers who fought the First World War far from home.
Download or read book Militarized Cultural Encounters in the Long Nineteenth Century written by Joseph Clarke and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-08-22 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores European soldiers’ encounters with their continent’s exotic frontiers from the French Revolution to the First World War. In numerous military expeditions to Italy, Spain, Russia, Greece and the ‘Levant’ they found wild landscapes and strange societies inhabited by peoples who needed to be ‘civilized.’ Yet often they also discovered founding sites of Europe’s own ‘civilization’ (Rome, Jerusalem) or decaying reminders of ancient grandeur. The resulting encounters proved seminal in forging a military version of the ‘civilizing mission’ that shaped Europe’s image of itself as well as its relations with its own periphery during the long nineteenth century.

Download or read book Empires at War written by Robert Gerwarth and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-07-03 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empires at War, 1911-1923 offers a new perspective on the history of the Great War. It expands the story of the war both in time and space to include the violent conflicts that preceded and followed the First World War, from the 1911 Italian invasion of Libya to the massive violence that followed the collapse of the Ottoman, Russian, and Austrian empires until 1923. It also presents the war as a global war of empires rather than a a European war between nation-states. This volume tells the story of the millions of imperial subjects called upon to defend their imperial governments' interest, the theatres of war that lay far beyond Europe, and the wartime roles and experiences of innumerable peoples from outside the European continent. Empires at War covers the broad, global mobilizations that saw African solders and Chinese labourers in the trenches of the Western Front, Indian troops in Jerusalem, and the Japanese military occupying Chinese territory. Finally, the volume shows how the war set the stage for the collapse not only of specific empires, but of the imperial world order writ large.
Download or read book Colonial Soldiers in Europe 1914 1945 written by Eric Storm and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the first half of the twentieth century, European countries witnessed the arrival of hundreds of thousands of colonial soldiers fighting in European territory (First and Second World War and Spanish Civil War) and coming into contact with European society and culture. For many Europeans, these were the first instances in which they met Asians or Africans, and the presence of Indian, Indo-Chinese, Moluccan, Senegalese, Moroccan or Algerian soldiers in Europe did not go unnoticed. This book explores this experience as it relates to the returning soldiers - who often had difficulties re-adapting to their subordinate status at home - and on European authorities who for the first time had to accommodate large numbers of foreigners in their own territories, which in some ways would help shape later immigration policies.
