About World War I
World War I was one of the largest wars in history, not to mention one of the most deadly as a result of recent technological advances. Poison gas was used as a weapon for the very first time and proved to be as deadly to civilians as it was to soldiers, since it was often blown away from the battlefield towards inhabited areas. Over nine million combattants and seven million civilians were killed over the course of the fighting, which lasted in total for four years, three months and two weeks. In addition, the war indirectly caused the outbreak of World War II. War memorials have since been erected in thousands of towns and villages.
This clear and accessible 70-page book is structured as follows:
Introduction to World War I, 1918: the outcome
The final round
The formidable yet fragile Kaiserheer
The Allied crisis of confidence
The Central Powers’ last roll of the dice
The Allied counter-offensive
The consequences of the Great War
An unstable world order
The price of the war
Major social upheaval
