Lecture: The Causes, Conduct, and Consequences of WWI

On the centennial anniversary of the beginning of World War I, the Nanovic Institute for European Studies presents a series of lectures by historians focused on new data and interpretations. What has been mistaken or overlooked in standard histories? What new data sheds light on the war’s causes? Did old empires disappear entirely? What were the long-term effects of the war on the environment? Join us for fresh looks at the catastrophe that in many ways defined modern Europe. This talk will be delivered by Professor Dan Lindley of the Department of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame.
