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 the stalemate of World War I
The search for a breakthrough
The expansion of the conflict
Military escalation
Mobilization at home
Technological innovation to the rescue of the war
Subversive politics: dissidence and national minorities
1917: the turning point
The United States’ entry into the war
The strategic failure of the Triple Entente
Russia leaves the war
