ABSTRACT
The Epilogue synthesizes the main findings of Nourishing Victory and underscores the significance of the food supply crisis during and after the First World War in the Bohemian Lands and Slovenia. Largely forgotten and, to some extent, overshadowed by the master narrative of national liberation, this experience was central for contemporaries, and it offers historians a productive analytical lens on the erosion and reconstitution of social order and political legitimacy. The Epilogue further broadens the scope of the volume by incorporating additional reflections on the role of food, nutrition, and the state in Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia during the early 1920s.
