About this item

The First World War, which began in Europe in 1914, stunned the world. For the first time since the defeat of Napoleon in 1815, the entire continent was at war, with nearly every country joining one of the two alliances. This book was typical of publications made for Americans to explain the war in far-away Europe. They often included photographs of the tools of war, such as the newly introduced submarine. The two text excerpts here are revealing:”Austria’s Civilizing Mission” is frank in the country’s desire to constantly expand to the east, while “The Effect of the War on the United States” is remarkably correct when it notes that “no matter who wins-all nations involved will be the real losers.”
