War Land on the Eastern Front: Culture, National Identity and German Occupation in World War I

In his book "Eastern War Country: World War I Culture, National Identity and German Occupation", Vejas Gabriel Liulevicius believes that Germany was on the Eastern Front during the First World War. This experience has devastating effects on both occupiers and occupiers, and this experience has created a framework for atrocities committed by Nazis in the Eastern Front during World War II. The view of Riurebisci differs from most post-Cold War historians' belief that Germany plummeted under cruel abyss during the Second World War. It is due to the so-called different Norma with Germany's special road Sonderweg.

The majority of the decisive land movement of World War I broke out on the continent of Europe. The two major operation centers are the front of the west and the front of the east. On the western front, the German army faced the British Empire, France, Belgium and later the United States. Most of the battle in this area was held in northeastern France. The west coast extended from the North Sea to the Swiss border. In the German and Austrian-Hungarian forces facing the Eastern Front of Russia, the battle is divided between the border areas between Germany and Poland (then divided into Austria - Hungarian Empire, Russia and the German Empire) and the Austrian - Hungarian Empire and Russia Began between. The front gradually moved east and east, deep into Russia.

During the First World War, the German Empire was one of the central regimes that lost war. After that ally Austria - Hungary announced that war against Serbia, it began to participate in the conflict. Except for the short period of the invasion of East Prussia in 1914, the German territory itself was relatively safe in most wars, but the German army fought against the Allied forces in the east and western front lines. The strict seal imposed by the British Navy caused serious food shortages in the city during the winter of 1916-1917, particularly known as radish winter. At the end of the war, German failures and widespread mass dissatisfaction caused the German Revolution from 1918 to 1919, beat the monarchy, established the Weimar Republic.

World War II brought the decline of Pan-Germanism, as the First World War brought about the collapse of Pan-Slavism. The Germans of Central and Eastern Europe escaped, exiled, part of Germany was destroyed, divided into Russia, France, the United States, the United Kingdom, then divided into West Germany and East German. Compared with the First World War, Germany suffered loss of greater territory, and most of East Germany was directly consolidated by the Soviet Union and Poland. The scale of failure in Germany is ever never. Since it is used very destructively by Nazism, nationalism and pan-Germanism are taboo. Indeed, the word "Volksdeutscher" naturalized during the Second World War has developed into a gentle nickname.
