WW1 II.

This is coolbert:

Once more from a variety of sources and authors that American perspective of the Great War [WW1], with one-hundred years of hindsight.

1. "US Marks Centennial of Entry Into the 'Great War'"

C. Maddux - VOA News

"The United States formally entered World War I a hundred years ago, on April 6, 1917. The nation set aside its posture of neutrality nearly three years after the start of the bloody conflict that came to be known as the “Great War.” ... The legacy of the Great War is hard to overstate."

2. "One Hundred Years of Using War to Try to End All War"

David Swanson - CounterPunch

"This April 4th will be 100 years since the U.S. Senate voted to declare war on Germany ... This was the Great War, the war to end all wars, the war without which the conditions for the next war would not have existed."

3. "Five Myths About World War I"

Michael Kazin – The Washington Post

"One hundred years ago, on April 6, 1917, Congress voted to declare war on imperial Germany. The First World War was the pivot of the 20th century: It took the lives of 17 million people and resulted in the collapse of three major empires (the German, the Ottoman and the Austro-Hungarian)."

4. "From Wristwatches To Radio, How World War I Ushered In The Modern World"

G. Myre - NPR

"... The [1914-1918 world war] is best remembered for the brutal trench warfare, the millions of deaths, and the failure to bring a lasting peace to Europe. But the conflict also saw a convergence of emerging technologies that would remake life on and off the battlefield ..."

FOUR EMPIRES ACTUALLY COLLAPSING IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE GREAT WAR! DON'T FORGET THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE [BECAME THE SOVIET UNION].

New nations in eastern Europe also emerging as part of the dissolution process of empire! Poland, Czechoslovakia, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, etc.
