Description

Explore a significant yet often forgotten chapter of history with this work from Routledge. During the First World War, approximately 250,000 Belgian refugees fled the German invasion and sought sanctuary in Britain. This movement represented the largest refugee presence the country has ever witnessed. Initially, these exiles were met with a massive wave of humanitarian sympathy driven by the public sentiment for "Poor Little Belgium." However, as the war progressed and direct British involvement became the primary news focus, the presence of these refugees shifted from front-page headlines to the background of public consciousness. Following the war, the British government funded a rapid repatriation process in late 1918 and 1919. This quick departure meant that the massive presence of Belgian citizens left behind few physical memorials or markers. This book examines the reactions to Belgian refugees and helps recover the history of this massive migration that was eventually lost from public memory.
