The World War One Story

Description

The global conflict diplomats and dynasties alike had said would never happen exploded into life on 28 June 1914. It was an all-consuming war that resulted in the death of over 9 million military personnel across the globe. Previous military tactics were abandoned for modern strategies that saw forces dig in and engage in trench warfare. This painfully slow and desperately exhausting means of fighting saw the development of machine guns, poison gas and the introduction of the first battle tanks. A compelling exploration of warfare at its most horrific.
