10 Staggering Facts About WWI

YouTube Link

With the centennial of WWI upon us, many organizations are having commemoration events and ceremonies. In the same vein, Alltime10s has produced this video that lists facts about WWI, of which the average person is likely unaware.


While I'm quite happy to celebrate the end of the Great War, I feel uneasy about celebrating its start. I get the feeling the whole thing is driven by media and political imperatives rather than public sentiment, this time round. I don't think my either of my grandfathers (who both survived the Somme and other battles) would be celebrating the beginning - only the end.
