ABSTRACT
This final chapter analyses the traces of the war in several aspects, and it highlights that the war did not end in November 1918. It studies the immediate post-war social and political radicalization and shows the multiple similarities that can be observed between both countries. It also studies public memories of the war and its presence in politics and culture in both countries in the decades after 1918. Furthermore, this chapter examines the links established between Argentina and Spain around the crisis of liberalism: it highlights several points of contact between the trajectories of relevant pro-Allies and pro-German intellectuals of both countries who rejected democracy after the ‘Wilsonian disappointment’ that emerged in 1919–1920 and developed in the following decade. In this process, the supranational perspectives – Hispanism and Latinism – were reinforced transnationally. Finally, the book concludes by demonstrating that the consequences left in Spain and Argentina must be conceived as a part of the global traces of the Great War.
