Description
For more than four years, from August 1914 to Novemeber 1918, a conflict of unprecedented scope and ferocity raged on battlefields across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. When the Great War, as it was known at the time, finally came to an end, over eight million men had died; the tactics and technology of war had dramatically changed; and three once-powerful empires had passed into history.
