World War I: A History from Beginning to End (Unabridged‪)‬

World War I, or the Great War, was believed to be "the war to end all wars".

Fighting - including miserable trench warfare - broke out in practically every corner of Europe and spread around the world to Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
