Teaching the War: Armed Conflicts in the German-Language Manuals made in Spain before and after 1914
Abstract
This article aims to analyse the way in which war and issues related to military conflicts are treated in manuals and grammars of the German language made in Spain until the sixties of the last century. The central premise which underlies the present research is that school textbooks are one of the key elements in the formation of collective identities: in this sense they contribute to the formation of the image of Germany in Spain before and after the Great War. In this way the presence of military issues in the German-language teaching materials illustrates the relations of Spain with the German-speaking world at crucial moments of recent history.
