War Memorials were an important element of nation building, for the invention of traditions, and the estab-lishment of historical traditions. Especially nationalist remembrance in the late 19th century and the memory of the First World War stimulated a memorial boom in the period which the present book is focusing on. The remembrance of war is nothing particularly new in history, since victories in decisive battles had been of interest since ancient times. However, the age of na-tionalism and the First World War triggered a new level of war remembrance that was expressed in countless memorials all over the world. The present volume pre-sents the research of international specialists from dif-ferent disciplines within the Humanities, whose research is dealing with the role of war memorials for the remem-brance of conflicts like the First World War and their perceptions within the analyzed societies. It will be shown how memorials - in several different chronologi-cal and geographical contexts - were used to remember the dead, remind the survivors, and warn the descendants.
