Still Verba Volant: Rumors during World War I. Reflections on Several Archival Documents

Summary/Abstract: In a year when the historians brought into question the issue of World War, I tried in this study to bring attention to a subject ignored by the Romanian historiography. The rumors –that can supply the most human reactions, especially when the media were radically different from those we have became a subject of meditation within the Western historiography already for several decades. This research is rather local, for which we used only the archival documents to reveal how rumors fueled fear and dramatic situations during WWI.
