£9.99

These six volumes cover the time between the start of the Great War and the end of theSecond World War. The Great War is now termed the First World War. It was only a world war in part as the fighting took place in Europe, the Atlantic Ocean and the Middle East. However South America, the Pacific Ocean and Asia were hardly involved. Many thought the war would be short but it became a war of attrition with enormous casualties at Verdun, the Somme and the Brusilov offensive. The Great War led to the breakdown of empires, leaving a power vacuum. Monarchies in Germany, Russia, and the Ottoman Empire were weakened or overthrown, while the British and French Empires thrived. The war marked the decline of traditional monarchies and the rise of secular nations.
