Synopsis
When war broke out in Europe in 1914, most people thought the conflict would be over by Christmas; they could not imagine how wrong they were. An attack in Sarajevo ended up becoming a snowball that swept the world: a new kind of warfare had begun, waged with techniques and means never seen before. By November 1918, ten million people had died and the political map of the planet had been redrawn.

The number of victims exceeds all predictions.
6. The Home Front2014-05-1350mThe soldiers' prospect of returning home is an important motive to continue fighting. In the first total war in history, a new phrase is coined: The Home Front.
