World War 1 fascinates me. That time in the world's history was a huge dividing line between what we were, and what we have become. The world was in upheaval.
A couple of wartime examples; Turkey entered the war with single-shot rifles. Tanks and submarines were already being used, yet horses were the main "engines" of vehicles. There were still cavalry soldiers! Charging machine guns! That went poorly.
Three empires collapsed during this war.
But we still had leaders thinking in outmoded ways.
Watching this movie gives a good idea of how worldwide this war was. The difficulty of negotiations exasperated by the arrogance and paternalism of the "big" powers is stunning.
I viewed it on Kanopy, but it is also on Youtube.
