Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the many challenges that have arisen as a result of the publication and the beginning of World War II, with special emphasis on the social conditions of the population of the Tuzla area. Sarajevo assassination, an act of war, mobilization, requisitions and military actions affected the overall situation in the Tuzla area in 1914. Even more so, as this area was located near the front. The population has been in numerous trials.

Social conditions will not significantly repaired in the coming years of the war, although after the collapse of Serbia and Montenegro in October 1915, Bosnia and Herzegovina ceased to be just a theater of war. The social picture of the situation in the Tuzla area was painted by Instructions issued by the District Sharia Court in Tuzla. Instruction is given in order to facilitate overcoming numerous life problems faced by residents of the area. Hunger and shortages were commonplace. The situation is further compounded by drought years and present speculation about the distribution of food to households, and a significant number of displaced persons from eastern Bosnia who were placed in this area. The economy is significantly collapsed and did not give hope for improvement of social conditions, especially due to the fact that the obligation for war and the consequences felt the lack of male labor force.
