The world wars reconfigured geopolitics on a sacred-secular spectrum dominated by the USA and the USSR. In these events, the motivations of humanitarian actors are disputed as either secular or religious, evoking approval or censure. Although modern global humanitarianism emerged during the world wars, it is often studied in a Euro-centric framework that does not engage the conflicts' globality. The effects of humanitarianism during the Second World War look toward the post-1945 era with not enough reflection on the pre-1945 history of humanitarianism. Thus, what is needed is a critical history beyond moralizing, bringing synchronic and diachronic expansion to study questions of continuity and change. A global history of religious humanitarianism during both world wars places faith-based humanitarianism on a spectrum of belief and unbelief.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e The first world war: a human-caused disaster\u003cbr\u003e The Russian civil war: global atheism and messianism\u003cbr\u003e Making the modern middle east: reconfiguring the holy land\u003cbr\u003e Interwar years: civilizing missions\u003cbr\u003e The second world war and postwar period: genocide and 'never again'?\u003cbr\u003e Global mission and development: colonialism continued?\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Military history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Military history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Military%20history%20%5BHBW%5D%22\"\u003eHBW\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52414077927704,"sku":"9781009472272","price":51.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781009472272i.jpg?v=1784336845","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/religious-humanitarianism-during-the-world-wars-1914-1945-between-atheism-and-messianism-hardback-9781009472272","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
