Virility, Blood, and Honor:  Italy’s Belated Entry into WWI in 1915

Presented by: Steven C. Hugh es, Professor Emeritus of History at Loyola University Maryland

As the great powers went to war in August of 1914, Italy - despite its thir ty-year old defensive alliance with Germany and Austria - declared itself n eutral in the conflict, as did Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denm ark, and Switzerland.  However, unlike these other states, Italy did e ventually enter the war (albeit on the side of France, England, and Russia) in May of 1915 after a series of debates, demonstrations, and street strug gles that would manage to betray the anti-war sentiment of much of the popu lace while undercutting the opposition of a substantial majority of the par liament.  This “Interventionist Crisis” is considered by many historia ns to be a defining moment in the failure of Italian democracy and the gene sis of the fascist movement. This talk will lay out the forces at play duri ng the crisis and will focus on how tropes of masculinity, virility, and bl ood variously played their part in mobilizing large sectors of the middle c lasses to take to the streets – sometimes with targeted violence - in suppo rt of the war.  Conversely, we will look at why the language of honor was less commonly used than one might assume during the debates and will th en finish with a discussion of how the crisis helped determine the course o f the post war period.
