MEMORY AS A CULTURAL SYSTEM. ABRAHAM LINCOLN IN WORLD WAR I

Abstract

World War I is the pivot of twentieth century American history because it transformed the United States from a regional into a global power. As the fiftieth anniversary of World War II winds down, we remind ourselves of the first “Great War” and its continuing importance to American self‐conception and memory.
