World War One was the most catastrophic event of the last century, responsible for the transformation of nation states and empires, the re-organisation of European society and the loss of millions of lives. LSE hosts a conference on Friday 3 October which will explore not only how the Great War changed the world but the broader meaning of politics, of struggle, of suffering and the human dimension of nationalist conflicts.
