Two features make the study of this conflict interesting. First, it took place at an earlier stage of the industrialisation and urbanisation processes than those previously analysed in the related literature. Second, the battles were fought in the open field, not in urban areas. In line with previous results for the Second World War in Japanese and German cities, our findings suggest that the effects of the shock were transitory. Furthermore, some evidence regarding the possible presence of a ‘safe harbour effect’ is reported. 000056118 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/AP2008-03561$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/ECO2009-09332$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/SEC2006-04893 000056118 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000056118 590__ $$a1.934$$b2015 000056118 591__ $$aURBAN STUDIES$$b8 / 39 = 0.205$$c2015$$dQ1$$eT1 000056118 591__ $$aENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES$$b36 / 104 = 0.346$$c2015$$dQ2$$eT2 000056118 592__ $$a1.56$$b2015 000056118 593__ $$aUrban Studies$$c2015$$dQ1 000056118 593__ $$aEnvironmental Science (miscellaneous)$$c2015$$dQ1 000056118 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000056118 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-3725-0022$$aSanz, F.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000056118 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-8973-6804$$aVera-Cabello, M. 000056118 7102_ $$14000$$2415$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
