Where did the war to end all wars begin? The assassination in Sarajevo may have only killed two, but the repercussions killed millions, destroyed empires, and changed the course of history.
One of the most badass and decorated soldiers of the Great War was a woman.

This song is the story of Albert Roche, who is very much forgotten today, but after the First World War was THE hero of France. He was hotheaded and tempestuous, but above all he was GOOD.

By the middle of the Great War, several nations had begun to experiment with shock troops, and Germany was one of them.

What is there to say about these pioneers? Well, quite a lot actually! This episode is dedicated to one of the most important and influential rock bands in history. Today, metal fans, we invite you to learn about the history of Motörhead…

1916 was known even to soldiers of the Great War as "The Year of Battles", and the largest of the battles fought on the Western front during the war was the Battle of the Somme.

The US 369th Infantry Regiment achieved great fame during the Great War, earning themselves the name "Harlem Hellfighters". This is their story.
They were as much symbols of national pride as they were mighty weapons of war, but they were indeed MIGHTY.
