Abstract
There are few events more fundamental to the shaping of the twentieth century or its collective memory than the First World War (1914-1918). A hundred years on, the conflict is commemorated in all corners of the globe, mostly as an event that marked profound loss and profound change at an international, national, community and personal level. In this Winter Series, historians from the University of Auckland and around New Zealand discuss the history and legacies of the First World War from a range of perspectives, highlighting how topical this 'war to end all wars' remains today.
