The Great War - World
War 1
£15.99
" Our war saga begins in 1914. The world was dominated by the European powers. When the heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary was assassinated, that spark touched off a catastrophic conflict. Attempts to break the deadlock by frontal machine gun assaults led to enormous casualties & the development of new, more horrific weapons. On the battlefield, massed artillery, gas & the introduction of the tank gave the war a new dimension. In the air, the advent o the bomber brought civilians face to face with the realities of a modern war. At sea, the submarine disrupted shipping & put entire countries in peril. After two & a half years the war ground to a bloody stalemate. Finally, on April 6, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson declared war on Germany & the American Expedition Forces (A.E.F.) were on the way 'over there"". By November 1918 about 9 million allied soldiers, sailors, & airmen had lost their lives. This authentic film documentary gives you a view of the first of the century's truly global wars. Most historians agree that the A.E.F. turned the tide of battle from possible defeat into allied victory on the western front. " ...
