The US National WWI Museum and Memorial’s annual symposia will continue with this year’s inaugural digital summit, War and Morality, hosted Friday and Saturday, November 15–16 at 10am – 1:30pm Central Time (CT) in the United States. (See time in your zone.)
As the defining event of the 20th century, how does World War I inform our understanding of “just” war?
When President Woodrow Wilson led the United States into WWI to “make the world safe for democracy,” it marked an end of American isolationism and initiated an era of global democratization.
Despite the efforts of multinational coalitions like the Triple Entente and League of Nations, crises have persisted throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, revealing the strategic and ethical complexities that define modern conflict and its impact on our global society.
Featured speakers include Isabel Hull, Michael Neiberg, Sir Hew Strachan, Pauline Shanks-Kaurin and more.
Partners include The Western Front Association, Modern War Institute at West Point, International Society for First World War Studies, WW1 Historical Association and the International Relations Council.
Attendees may view lectures either from the comfort of their own computers, or at a casual in-person watch party at the Museum and Memorial.
