The Great War, Part II
Manage episode 440951474 series 3592033
What actually started the Great War (we won’t call it World War I until the second World War starts, for obvious reasons)? Let’s find out who was on each side - the Allies vs the Central Powers. How did the assassination of a relatively minor Archduke lead to massive armies facing each other in France, of all places? And what led to years of men living in trenches that became a symbol of this particular war?
If you want to have a fuller background to the material in our series, please consider purchasing the workbook I wrote for my high school history classes, Modern United States History, published by Canon Press, in Moscow, Idaho. But whether you get the workbook or just listen, I think you will enjoy the stories and hopefully gain some insights into U.S. history, which is indeed His story!
Thanks for listening - Tom Garfield
