After four years of the bloodiest conflict the world had seen, and after nine million casualties, it was won by the Entente. Topics include Schlieffen plan, the miracle of the Marne, mobility gives way to entrenchment, entrenchment leads to the slaughter of 1916/17, Verdun, Somme, Ypres, life in the trenches, the March 1918 offensive, and the collapse of the Central Powers.
