Daily life in Budjak during the First World War

Abstract

During the First World War, Southern Bessarabia was in close proximity to the war zone. This led to drastic changes in the way of life of the local population. Substantial restrictions were imposed on a number of spheres of daily life (a curfew was enforced, more than two people were not allowed to gather in the streets, and telephone conversations were conducted in Turkish, German, Hungarian and some other languages). To maintain public order, military and civil authorities issued various anti-alcohol policies. Due to the underdeveloped infrastructure, there was an important lack of food and essential goods. Later, local residents were actively involved in the construction of defensive structures.
