At the start there were five main participants - Britain, France, Russia, Germany and Austria - Hungary - but soon soldiers from five continents were involved in the fighting, making this the first world war. When the war finally came to an end in 1918, almost nine million soldiers had died in the fighting. The First World War tells the story of those terrible years. It explores the political situation that provided the breeding ground for war, and traces the course of the fighting. It also looks closely at the wartime experiences of many people, and briefly examines the changes that swept the world after the armistice was signed. This book brings the story of war to life with extracts from official treaties, letters written by soldiers, novels, poems, propaganda leaflets, diaries and newspaper reports. Book jacket.
