Summary
This chapter argues that the First World War did not fundamentally alter GIS either normatively or materially. Thus version 1.0 Western-colonial GIS continued, albeit with the trauma of the First World War elevating war and the defence dilemma to top priority. One effect of this was to marginalise the periphery even further. We continue to look at Japan as part of the core, and trace the attempt to rebuild GIS during the 1920s, and the breakdown of this attempt during the 1930s. The chapter concludes by looking at the Second World War in comparison with the First, arguing that it had much bigger consequences for GIS, triggering the shift to version 1.1 GIS.
