Distinct national traditions emerged and institutes were founded, partly due to collaborations with the military. Researchers in the cultural sciences used war zones to gain access to »informants«: prisoner-of-war and refugee camps, occupied territories, even the front lines. Anthropologists tailored their inquiries to aid the war effort, contributed to interpretations of the war as a »struggle« between »races«, and assessed the »warlike« nature of the Balkan region, whose crises were key to the outbreak of the Great War UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/25381/1/1004715.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/25381/1/1004715.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/25381/1/1004715.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/29024 ER -
