Synopsis

The First World War, lasting just four years, from 1914 to 1918, was without parallel, the first true global conflict in which all of the earth's great powers participated.

A Short History of the First World War tells the story of this cataclysmic event describing the background to war, the international rivalries and conflicts of the previous decades that led to the nations of Europe forming virtual armed camps, the relentless build-up of military and naval hardware that characterized the early years of the 20th century and the great figures that tried to prevent conflict or enthusiastically pushed for it.

A Short History of the First World War provides a superb introduction to the events of this epochal conflict at a time when the world will be commemorating the 100th anniversary of its outbreak and remembering the millions who lost their lives in it.
