Abstract
A wise philosopher once said that “wars do not make one great”. Yet the idea of war as a test of power remains a strong disciplinary norm within international relations. Disciplinary history is temporalized, with key eras defined as significant, as in the key division of the study of international politics into eras (the interwar period, the post‐Second World War international order, the post‐Cold War era), and wars demarcate these eras and act as defining moments in international politics. As we now reflect on the centenary of the First World War, it bears reflecting on the position this particular war occupies within the study of international politics.
