Description

World War I also known in its time as the Great War or the War to End all Wars was an unprecedented holocaust in terms of its sheer scale Fought by men who hailed from all corners of the globe it saw millions of soldiers do battle in brutal assaults of attrition which dragged on for months with little to no respite Tens of millions of artillery shells and untold hundreds of millions of rifle and machine gun bullets were fired in a conflict that demonstrated mans capacity to kill each other on a heretofore unprecedented scale and as always such a war brought about technological innovation at a rate that made the boom of the Industrial Revolution seem stagnant
