The paper reflects on various visions of a global military conflict in fantasy literature of the 1870s. The authors of the article, through the analysis of different genres and approaches to the subject – from invasion literature, war tales with a predominate role of inventions, to dystopias and alternative histories – present how war fantasy narratives influenced readers’ imagination. Such literature was used twofold. It served as patriotic propaganda or to promote the interests of other, specific, groups, but it also incited an overwhelming feeling that conflict is inevitable and will lead either to the creation of a new, better world or to an absolute disaster.
