History guest speaker research seminar.
At the end of the First World War, the peacemakers placed a small number of territories in Europe under the direct international administration of the League of Nations. These areas, along with later zones created outside Europe, were considered too difficult to weave into a new world order of nation-states and mandates, and for decades, they were subject to uncertainty about their future. This talk zooms in on daily life in international zones. It explores the imperial continuities which characterised them, as well as the unintended consequences created by making societies wait for clarification about their political futures.
