Cleaned and marked-up volumes of the New Europe review, 1916-1920

The newEuropeReview corpus is a set of seventeen volumes of the complete run of the foreign policy weekly The New Europe that was published between 1916 and 1921. The texts deal mainly with analysis of the First world war developments and reporting on the political and social situation countries in central and easter Europe, as well as under the Ottoman rule. Many of the authors envisioned changes of political borders in Europe that would be more closely aligned along the ethnic land linguistic lines. The weekly offered a radical and unconventional view of the postwar Europe. The corpus reveals how their views were anchored in the prewar political theory and how this thinking evolved during the First world war, and impacted shaping of the new postwar world order at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919.
