Abstract

The article deals with the impact of the First World War on the notion and practice of citizenship in France, Britain, Germany, the Russian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and Italy, and on the relation- ship between these same belligerent states and the people living in their territories—both citizens and aliens.
