  War and experiences of European-ness: convergences, transfers and circulations (1900–1950)

  National societies do not function in closed space. The spread of new communication and transport means during the second half of the 19^th century has brought together formerly distant regions of the European continent and created new spaces for economic and information exchanges. This process of convergence provided a basis for a larger "community of Europeans". At the same time, a somewhat contradictory development took place through the strengthening of nationalist ideas and movements leading to the foundation of so-called "nation-states" in Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe and the intensification of tensions between different ethnic groups and minorities. European societies therefore experienced contradictory changes, both rapprochement on a transnational level and withdrawal to the national space.
