In questo episodio ci concentriamo su come il conflitto sia stato percepito e vissuto dalle opinioni pubbliche dell'Impero Britannico. Attraverso una prospettiva britannica, indiana, africana, australiana, neozelandese, canadese, e caraibica cercheremo di comprendere come i governi abbiano costruito il loro consenso alla guerra e come l'impero più grande della storia abbia risposto alla chiamata.

ATTENZIONE! L'intervista è stata registrata dal vivo, quindi l'audio in alcuni punti potrebbe non essere dei migliori.

In questo episodio speciale ho avuto il piacere di fare qualche domanda alla dott. ssa Ginevra Zelaschi, ricercatrice presso il Centro di Studi Storici di Rovigno, e col dott. Marco Zelaschi. Due fratelli accomunati da una grande passione per la Marina Austroungarica, con i quali abbiamo attraversato due secoli della storia di questa ben poco conosciuta componente delle forze armate austroungariche.

In copertina: La fregata SMS Novara nel corso del suo giro del mondo (1857-1859).

Un singolo incrociatore tedesco porta scompiglio nei Caraibi, per poi sparire misteriosamente. Nel Mare del Nord, la guerra colpisce con crudeltà anche i civili, su suolo britannico.

Le forze tedesche in Namibia si ritrovano a combattere non solo contro i Sudafricani, ma anche contro i Portoghesi, presenti in Angola. Nel frattempo la rivolta afrikaner viene rapidamente sedata dalle forze rimaste fedeli al governo.
