Part One of our six-part series on the history that led to the National World War One Memorial.
In nineteen-fourteen, the great powers of Europe believed they were at the height of civilization. Yet a web of alliances, a relentless arms race, and simmering nationalism created a powder keg. We explore how the assassination of a single archduke in Sarajevo could act as the spark that ignited a global inferno, shattering the illusion of a short, glorious war and creating the brutal stalemate of the Western Front.
Visionaries can see potential where others only see mud.
