  Noth Africa and Subsaharan Africa in the Great War 1914-1918

  Heritage, commemoration and transmission

  Un siècle s’est écoulé depuis le déclenchement de la Grande Guerre. Dans le cas de l'empire français, l'armée d'Afrique et les troupes coloniales ont donné un rôle de premier plan aux pays d'Afrique du Nord et d’Afrique subsaharienne. Notre événement, dans une dimension multilatérale, analysera l'étude du rôle joué par les pays d’Afrique du Nord et d'Afrique subsaharienne à l'effort de guerre de la France en général, en particulier la contribution des troupes coloniales aux combats menés sur le sol métropolitain.

  Conference, symposium - History

  Order in War. Gendarmeries and Police facing WWI

  During the First World War, as peacetime economies were transformed into war-focused production systems, European law- enforcement agencies had to adapt to new conditions. The wartime reorganizations of police forces need to be understood comparatively. The First World War set a series of similar requirements in all European countries at war and, to some extent, in some neutral countries also. This conference aims to open new perspectives rather than bringing full and final responses. This is a particularly broad, complex and new historiographic field: the history of law enforcement institutions in Europe in a specific context - specifically total war, the kind of conflict that significantly fostered forms of disorder. We will focus particularly on the diversity of forces, from military to civil police, posted or not on the front line, in belligerent or neutral countries, in metropoles or empires.
