Abstract
The study uses basic data from the censuses of 1910 and 1921 to trace the impacts of the First World War on demographic development in Prague. The author addresses selected demographic phenomena such as the total number of war losses, the transformation of the demographic behaviour and wartime decline in the birth rate, the disruption of the gender and age composition of the Prague population, family status by age and gender, and the fate of widows and war fatalities as a factor in the socio-professional emancipation of women.
