description: Author abstract: This website aims to provide a glimpse of what life was like in Sarasota, Florida during the Great War. Through extensive archival research, the website’s creators have divided content into three key sections: the war effort, wartime economic development, and social life on the homefront. Also included is a section on influenza. There is a large amount of overlap between the sections; many topics covered on the site could fit into more than one of these categories. In particular, the Great War had an impact that extended well beyond the war effort itself. Hopefully visitors will leave this site having learned more about Sarasota’s history, and with a better understanding of what the Great War did and did not leave untouched. Archived May 21, 2025.
