- W2993680707 abstract "On March 9, 1916, Germany declared war in Portugal. In response, Lisbon sent afighting force, the Corpo Expedicionario Portugues [CEP], to France, where it held a portion ofthe Western Front until April 9, 1918. In addition, a number of smaller expeditions weredispatched to secure Mozambique and, if possible, participate in the conquest of GermanEast Africa. Both theatres of war were a source of frustration for the Portuguese, andparticipation in the conflict fell far short of the hopes deposited in it by its defenders. Asinterventionist politicians slowly lost control over the country’s destiny after the war’s end,the conflict faded from the public’s awareness, its memory kept alive essentially amongthose who had direct experience with combat. For decades, Portugal’s participation inWorld War I was generally ignored, or reduced to a historical cul-de-sac, a pointless, ifexpensive, military episode. However, our understanding of the conflict’s impact onPortugal and its importance in the subsequent course of the country’s history has increasedimmeasurably over the past twenty years. The centenary commemorations for both theRepublic, in 2010, and the Great War itself, starting in 2014, have naturally contributed tothis process.In March of 2016, on the hundredth anniversary of Portugal’s intervention in theconflict, a colloquium was held at Brown University as an attempt to insert Portugal’s warexperience into a wider, but intimately related, context: that of the Lusophone world. Theintention of the colloquium’s organizers was twofold. They set out, on the one hand, toacknowledge and showcase the rich diversity inherent in the Portuguese war experience(both in the European metropolis and in the African and Asian colonies) and in itsBrazilian counterpart. On the other, the organizers intended to challenge participants tothink of the First World War in a new way: not only as the preserve of governments,generals and statesmen, or even of strictly defined nation-states, but rather of linguisticcommunities and cultures that crossed oceans and were, in some cases, present on all continents. This aspect of the workshop’s rationale rested on the possibility that theremight well have existed affinities beyond loyalty to country, class, or even to empire (multinationalor colonial)2 that determined how people around the globe experienced the FirstWorld War. In other words, it was the organizers’ intention to establish whether globallinguistic communities, tied together by a multitude of bonds of varying strengths,developed a common response to the experience of a world at war in the age of totalconflict." @default.
