1914-1918 A Brief History Of The First World War

By Mr Alessandro Gualtieri

World War I, also known as the First World War, the Great War, and the War To End All Wars, was a global military conflict which took place primarily in Europe from 1914 to 1918. Over 40 million casualties resulted including approximately 20 million military and civilian deaths. One of the most striking results of the war was a large redrawing of the map of Europe. All of the Central Powers lost territory, and many new nations were created. All in all, the sacrifice of a generation of young men didn't achieve anything, succeeding only in making the First World War a synonym of the stupidity and uselessness of war, or did it?This book is aimed at students, scholars and casual readers as well, offering the possibility to tackle such a poignant and often controversial history subject through a series of at-a-glance short chapters and comprehensive reference.
