The Concept of Total War: National Effort and Taxation in Britain and France During the First World War

Abstract

The failure … to appreciate that such bellicist views, or variants of them, were still widespread in other areas of the world, those dominated by Fascism or Marxism-Leninism, were to cause embarrassing misunderstandings, and possibly still do.     

Keeping the Spiritual Home Fires Burning: Religious Belonging in Britain during the First World War

The religious impact of the First World War on the home front in Britain is assessed in terms of churchgoing and church membership and affiliation. Church attendance rose briefly at the start of the war but fell away thereafter in the Protestant tradition, accelerating a pre-existing trend, which was not reversed after 1918. The disruption caused by the war to the everyday life of organized religion probably accounts for the decrease, rather more than loss of faith. Church membership also declined during the war in the Anglican and mainstream Free Churches, albeit not for other denominations and faiths, but it temporarily revived after the war. This was not the case for non-member adherents and Sunday scholars whose reduction was more continuous.
