WWI – The Great War

Woodrow Wilson's 1917 remarks encapsulate the harsh realities of World War I, emphasizing that the brutality of warfare will reshape national identity. This period was marked by intense economic rivalries, aggressive nationalism, and significant events like the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and the implementation of the Schlieffen Plan. The war saw horrific battles, trench warfare, and monumental losses exemplified by the Somme and Verdun. As nations mobilized for conflict, the impact of propaganda and women's contributions to the war effort highlighted a transformative era in history.
