Frederick C. Schneid
In the past 40 years, interpretations of European military history during the “long nineteenth century” (1789-1914) have retained much of their post-Second World War fascination with the Prusso-German military system. Moreover, British military history of the period continues to dominate Anglophone historiography. These Anglo-German master narratives need to be refocused on the larger European context. As a result, the military history of this era should equally integrate the wars of Empire and their impact on continental European armies. Finally, if scholars are to truly understand war in the Industrial Age, the obsession with technological determinism must be properly tempered. When contextualized, leadership – not technology – proved a more decisive factor in the outcome of European wars between the French Revolution and the First World War.

As political scientist Tarak Barkawi has argued, studying wars of decolonization demands a readiness to decolonize previously Eurocentric approaches to war. To do that, we need first to think about how the study of violent decolonization has evolved over the past generation or so. This brief essay offers a few answers. It focuses on three issues: the recognition of decolonization’s wars, the place of unarmed civilians in such conflicts, and the inter-connection between violent decolonization and civil war.

Eminent historians reflect on the creation, evolution, and in some cases the destruction of the field of military history’s ‘grand narratives,’ ‘master narratives’, or ‘metanarratives’ over the past forty years in the following areas: race and the history of the modern US military; Asian military history; US military history; African military history: Europe 1789 to 1900; European history since 1914; wars of decolonisation; explanations of Confederate defeat; gender and war; and early modern European warfare.

My charge – to trace the changing master narrative of ‘ race ’ in US military history over the past forty years – proved confounding. I could easily find the most proxim-ate end of the narrative. Studies of race, or of groups defined through racial or ethnic identity, are currently trending in military history. A study of race and the US military in the Second World War received the 2022 distinguished book award from the Society for Military History: Thomas A. Guglielmo ’ s deeply researched and insightful work, Divisions: A New History of Racism and Resistance in America ’ s World War II Military . 2 And I can list a double handful of scholars, myself included, who are writing on the topic right now. Looking back to the distant past of my own graduate school years – at the University of Chicago from 1980 to 1986

On 8 May 2020, a sombre commemoration took place in the heart of Berlin. It marked the seventy-fifth anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe. The day was supposed to be an occasion to gather leaders of some of the principal combatants of that struggle, but Covid-19 meant that there would be no crowds and no foreign dignitaries. Instead, the political leadership of the Federal Republic of Germany gathered for a quiet wreath-laying at the austereNeue Wache on the Unter den Linden, in front of K€athe Kollwitz’s Piet a. The German Federal President, Frank-Walter Steinmeier (born 1956), gave a speech that emphasised the multiple transformations of Europe since 1945. Reflecting on the slow but steady progress that the successor generations made, he reminded the small audience that:
2020年5月8日，在柏林市中心举行了一场沉痛的纪念活动。它标志着第二次世界大战在欧洲结束75周年。这一天本应是一些主要战斗人员的领导人聚集在一起的机会，但新冠肺炎意味着不会有人群和外国政要。取而代之的是，德意志联邦共和国的政治领导人聚集在林下广场(under den den)的朴素广场，在科尔维茨美术馆(Kollwitz’s Piet a)前安静地敬献了花圈。德国联邦总统弗兰克-瓦尔特施泰因迈尔(Frank-Walter Steinmeier, 1956年出生)发表了演讲，强调了1945年以来欧洲的多次变革。回顾后继几代人取得的缓慢但稳定的进步，他提醒人数不多的听众:

The study of twentieth century US military history has changed dramatically in the last forty years, in no small measure due to the increasing number of historians who approach the field through a focus on war and society and gender history. Once considered ‘ new ’ , these fields are now older than many practising historians and have become common specialisations among them. Whether or not the study of wars, societies, and gender have dismantled any perceived standard narrative of military history, however, might depend on whom you ask. This essay examines how the intertwined fields of war and society and gender history have challenged conventional military history narratives at the individual, institutional, and structural levels. While drawing primarily on recent works about the twentieth century United States, many of the topics, methods, and questions of these approaches also characterise the history of other time periods and other regions of the world. 1 Historians of wars and societies and of gender argue that it is impossible to separate the experiences and institutions of military and wartime service, or even the framing and conduct of war itself, from the societies that mobilise and deploy armed forces. Military histories, they insist, are also histories of gender, of race, class, religion, sex, and region. Nothing about militaries or wars is univer-sal or natural; no decision is made free of social and cultural context. These historians understand the relationship between societies, militaries, and conflict as determinative, inseparable, and mutually constructive. In the context of the United States in particular, they see military and wartime needs as fundamental to all foreign and domestic policies. War and society and gender history, as dedicated historical fields, emerged from the same historiographical developments and are in many ways inseparable. Both

This article offers a short, critical survey of the 'grand' or 'master' narratives produced since the 1950s by those discussing the history of war in early modern Europe. It examines in turn the War and Society approach, the concept of a Military Revolution, narratives linking political and social impacts, the more recent models of Fiscal Military and Contractor States, and the debates around the nature of military change. It concludes that grand narratives are always flawed, but we need them to relate or compare what would otherwise be a bewildering array of disconnected stories.
