| Abstract | "Saving Europe offers a transnational and intersectional history of American intervention in Europe between 1914 and 1924, a period when the United States simultaneously tightened its borders and expanded its reach. I argue that in the crucial decade following the outbreak of World War I, Americans saw themselves in a novel role abroad as protectors of European cultural heritage and as rescuers of vulnerable populations. This experience had important long-term implications for later US and United Nations humanitarian aid programs"-- Provided by publisher. |
