Fighting the War

This chapter discusses the pivotal Battle of the Marne in September 1914, which halted the German advance and marked the beginning of a brutal stalemate characterized by trench warfare. It explores the challenges of old tactics meeting new technologies, alongside the attempts to break the deadlock through the Gallipoli Campaign and major battles like Verdun and the Somme, marked by staggering casualties. Furthermore, it touches on diplomatic developments, the involvement of the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria, the Armenian Genocide, and the rise of Arab nationalism during the war.
