1917 was an important year for historical change on a global scale - not only due to the American entry into the War and the Russian Revolution. The year can rightly be considered the turning point of the First World War and the foundations for the decisive structures of the short 20th century. Contemporary observers recognized these global connections very well. But in the historiography limited to the Nation State these global connections did not matter for decades. This has changed during recent years.

On 25 February 2016 the seventy-fifth anniversary of the February Strike will be commemorated in front of the synagogue and the Dokwerker [Dockworker] Monument in Amsterdam. Exactly seventy-five years ago, on 25 February 1941, a general strike broke out in Amsterdam in protest at the German occupation and persecution of the Jews. It was commemorated for the first time in 1946, and then in every subsequent year.
The struggle for self-determination and independence of Portuguese colonies benefited from an international solidarity promoted by different entities, namely governments, international organizations, and non-governmental organizations, such as churches, trade unions or political, student and women's organizations. The solidarity was instigated by different ideological commitments across the national boundaries and aimed different goals.
