MENESES, Filipe Ribeiro de. The chronological unity of the First World War. []. , 42, pp.21-33. ISSN 1645-9199.

Some historians have begun to question the chronological unity of the First World War and the conflict’s very unity. These historians suggest that the succession of wars that shook Europe from 1911 until 1923 should be analysed together, not only with recourse to military and diplomatic history, but to cultural history as well. They also suggest that this analysis should extend to the colonial conflicts which had been waged before 1914, and would continue before 1918. This article attempts to summarize such arguments and consider their implications for Portugal, for they might very well permit a reevaluation of the origins and consequences of Portuguese interventionism.
