Abstract

The first goal of this paper was to examine how World War One, a threshold in the European History, in uenced the social, economic and
political role of women with a case study of a small agrarian and, socially speaking, traditional community such as the island of Krk, an independent district in the Istrian Markgraviate. Another goal was to demonstrate the everyday life of the islands’ inhabitants, moreover how they coped with the war and its consequences, such as the decline of the life standard. In addition, the paper presented a brief insight on how the central power took care of the war widows, orphans, poor and less fortunate islanders. The paper focused on Baška as the then most populated county on the island of Krk.
