World War I (Bookshelf)

World War I, also known as WWI (abbreviation), the First World War, the Great War, and "The War to End All Wars", was a global military conflict that took place mostly in Europe between 1914 and 1918. It left millions dead and re-shaped the modern world. ... The outcomes of World War I would be important factors in the development of World War II 21 years later.
