This free public event comprised an illustrated talk about key developments in global political history during the pivotal year 1917, followed by a discussion.

Professor David Stevenson summarized the research and arguments in his new book, 1917: War, Peace, and Revolution (Oxford University Press, 2017).

Professor David Stevenson holds the Stevenson Chair of International History at the London School of Economics and Political Science. He is the author or editor of eight books on international history, with a particular emphasis on the history of the First World War.

Professor Matthew Jones is Professor and Head of Department at the Department of International History at the LSE.

The Department of International History (@lsehistory) teaches and conducts research on the international history of Britain, Europe and the world from the early modern era up to the present day. Founded in 1954, the department is one of the youngest departments at LSE. But in its short life, it has risen to become one of the top three university history departments in the UK, thanks to both its internationally renowned graduate programme and research record.
