Chaque automne revient en France la meme fete nationale, le 11 Novembre, anniversaire de l'armistice qui mit fin a la Grande Guerre. Elle fait la Une des journaux locaux, rassemble les autorites, les enfants des ecoles, les Anciens combattants et l'armee autour des 36 000 monuments aux morts du pays.Le 11 Novembre, reconnaissable entre toutes les fetes, si bien integre au calendrier memoriel, semble pourtant en declin. Ainsi les affluences y sont maigres, les Poilus ont disparu et son message patriotique n'a plus guere d'echo a l'heure de l'Europe et de la mondialisation.La loi de 2012 en a donc fait, non plus l'hommage aux seuls heros de la Grande Guerre, mais l'hommage aux morts de toutes les guerres, passees, presentes et a venir. Un tel bouleversement renvoie a sa fonction de commemoration nationale, nee du souvenir des massacres de 14-18 et de la victoire et qui n'a, paradoxalement, jamais ete objet de consensus.Des sa creation, elle fut le receptacle de toutes les passions francaises. Cependant, elle a survecu a tous les regimes politiques, a toutes les crises, coloniales ou sociales et a toutes les concurrences dont le 8 Mai. L'histoire du 11 Novembre permet alors de comprendre le rapport si particulier des Francais au souvenir et a la memoire de cette Grande Guerre qui fonde une partie de leur identite.

"The First World War is often credited as being the event that gave Canada its own identity, distinct from that of Britain, France, and the United States. Less often noted, however, is that it was also the cause of a great deal of friction within Canadian society. The fifteen essays contained in Canada and the First World War examine how Canadians experienced the war and how their experiences were shaped by region, politics, gender, class, and nationalism. Editor David MacKenzie has brought together some of the leading voices in Canadian history to take an in-depth look into the tensions and fractures the war caused, and to address the way some attitudes about the country were changed, while others remained the same. The essays vary in scope, but are strongly unified so as to create a collection that treats its subject in a complete and comprehensive manner. Canada and the First World War is a tribute to esteemed University of Toronto historian Robert Craig Brown, one of Canada's greatest authorities on the Great War World War One. The collection is a significant contribution to the on-going re-examination of Canada's experiences in war, and a must-read for students of Canadian history."--

This title seeks to question the modern idea that the Great War was regarded as a futile waste of life by British society in the disillusioned twenties and thirties. It concentrates on the planning of, fund-raising for, and erection of war memorials.
