Abstract

The main objective of this article is to inquire about Latin American students' participation in the debates generated by the Great War through the printed media they had at their disposal. Correspondingly, the analysis is carried out in three stages: first, how the pre-war European political reality was present in the student agenda of the region is studied. Secondly, it analyzed the mood of the printed interventions of the students during the European conflict, explaining why these mainly were carried out through the pages of not precisely university journalistic organs. Finally, it is examined the student discourse on the Great War in the student publications themselves, which had their moment of greatest boom after 1918, explaining how continuity and organization can be traced in them as themes and reflections, which make the phenomenon of the Great War a fundamental event in the ideological architecture of the Latin American student movements of the second and third decade of the XXth century.
