La guerra è finita? 1918-1922 : un dopoguerra senza pace

In November 1918 the conflict officially ended, but not the high level of conflict fueled by the four years of war, in which the "duty of hatred" was prevalent. The post-war period was thus characterized, first of all, as a difficult path out of the war; accompanied by the constant presence of a pervasive violence, a presence which was preached, exalted and practiced. Considering this background, the article proposes a focus on the immediate post-war period (1918-1922), that also comprehends the story of the Parma barricades of August 1922. It does so by outlining the pursuit (between hopes and fears, disorientations and illusions) of a new international order and of new political structures together with the emergence of new protagonists, of the tensions/transformations that affected customs and social, generational and gender relationships.
