Abstract
In contrast to the Balkan Wars, and leaving out the turmoil of revolution, retreat and post-war struggle, the First World War in Central and Eastern Europe was a ‘modern, but not total war’. Not since Norman Stone’s 1975 The Eastern Front, 1914–17 has there been a concise description of the Eastern theatre of the First World War. This chapter fills that gap but does not focus – as Stone did – exclusively on military aspects. Rather, it concentrates on the motives and experience of violence perpetrated from 1914 to 1916 in Central and Eastern Europe from the perspectives of the soldiers and the civilian population.
