Major Campaigns of World War I - How the War to End All Wars Encompassed the Globe (Paperback)

Although images of the Second World War dominate histories of the twentieth century, before the era of newsreels, World War I rocked the planet with ferocity of unprecedented proportions. So brutal and widespread was the conflict, with the introduction of machine guns, poison gas, and widespread ethnic cleansing, that it was dubbed "The Great War" or "the War to End All Wars." Because European countries had built vast colonial empires, World War I raged in every corner of the globe. This concise, handy guide chronicles the major campaigns of the war, shedding light on how it spread beyond the trench warfare of Europe. It's an easy-to-read, useful reference for anyone studying "The Great War."Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books.
