Description
The First World War by Martin Gilbert The outbreak of the First World War is a pivotal moment in modern history, marking the beginning of a global conflict that would change the world forever. On June 28, 1914, the war started in Sarajevo, an outpost of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and would eventually end in 1918. However, its impact has been felt for much longer. The First World War had a profound impact on the world, leaving millions dead or maimed, and introducing new technologies of death, such as tanks, planes, and submarines. It also saw the introduction of unrestricted war on civilians and the mistreatment of prisoners, and had a profound effect on empires, monarchies, and national identities. The war's legacy can still be seen today, with many of its effects still felt in the world we live in today.
