The World War One Historical Association
Information on Fall and Winter 2017 World War One Conferences
We are pleased to share with all of you information on four World War One related conferences taking place between October and December. Time to make your travel plans for those you want to attend!
National WW1 Museum & Memorial
November 3 – 4, 2017 “1917: America Joins the Fight”
National World War One Museum & Memorial, Kansas City
Early Bird Registration ($195) Closes October 6!
The United States emerged from its traditional isolation in 1917 and began to take its place in the forefront of world affairs. As the U.S. mobilized its farms, industries, and formed a large army, it confronted curtailing civil liberties and faced a possible demand for equity in return for support. American leaders believed their choice to join the Entente confirmed a particular form of governance, social, and economic organization, while on the other side of the globe a radically different form was defined by the Russian people. While these competing visions were voiced, the old idea of taking the land of the vanquished was the vision of elite, eyeing the Ottoman Empire.
Featured speakers will include David Stevenson, Michael Neiberg and Jennifer Keene. Symposium attendees are also invited to join the audience for a special podcast recording with Hew Strachan on Nov. 2 at 6 p.m.
The World War One Historical Association is partnering with the museum and other partners and supporters. We will send information on schedule, speakers, and related events as soon as they are released by the museum

October 20 -22, 2017 “Remembering Muted Voices: Conscience, Dissent, Resistance and Civil Liberties in World War 1 Through Today”
National World War One Museum & Memorial, Kansas City
The World War’s profound effect on the United States is often overlooked. Although the United States actively took part in the conflict for only 18 months, the war effort introduced mass conscription, transformed the American economy, and mobilized popular support through war bonds, patriotic rallies, and anti-German propaganda. Nevertheless, many people desired a negotiated peace, opposed American intervention, refused to support the war effort, and/or even imagined future world orders that could eliminate war. Among them were members of the peace churches and other religious groups, women, pacifists, radicals, labor activists, and other dissenters.
