Description

World War I has been referred to as the "war to end all wars" and concluded with more than 20 million casualties. The first global war of the 20th century and also the first war to feature highly mechanized warfare - including tanks, airplanes, and poison gas - World War I was one of the deadliest conflicts in human history. As a result of this cataclysmic event, great empires crumbled and new nations sprang into being. The political aftershocks of the "Great War" are still felt today from Palestine to the Balkans.The World War I Almanac contains a detailed, day-by-day chronology of the events and people involved in World War I. An A-to-Z biographical dictionary of the key figures in the conflict is also included, as well as a comprehensive listing of vital statistics in the appendix. Researchers will appreciate the maps and illustrations and the extensive bibliography for further research.
