Virility, Blood, and Honor:  Italy ’s Belated Entry into WWI in 1915

Presented by: Ste ven C. Hughes, Professor Emeritus of History at Loyola University Maryland< /em>

As the great powers went to war in August of 1914, Italy - despi te its thirty-year old defensive alliance with Germany and Austria - declar ed itself neutral in the conflict, as did Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, N orway, Denmark, and Switzerland.  However, unlike these other states, Italy did eventually enter the war (albeit on the side of France, England, and Russia) in May of 1915 after a series of debates, demonstrations, and s treet struggles that would manage to betray the anti-war sentiment of much of the populace while undercutting the opposition of a substantial majority of the parliament.  This “Interventionist Crisis” is considered by ma ny historians to be a defining moment in the failure of Italian democracy a nd the genesis of the fascist movement. This talk will lay out the forces a t play during the crisis and will focus on how tropes of masculinity, viril ity, and blood variously played their part in mobilizing large sectors of t he middle classes to take to the streets – sometimes with targeted violence - in support of the war.  Conversely, we will look at why the languag e of honor was less commonly used than one might assume during the debates and will then finish with a discussion of how the crisis helped determine t he course of the post war period.  

Free Event – Refreshments and social hour will follow.
