The narrative begins with the causes of World War I, including the alliances, imperialist ambitions, and nationalistic tensions that led to the conflict. It then moves through the major events of the war, such as the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the entry of major powers into the conflict, and key battles like the Battle of the Somme and Verdun. The authors also explore the impact of new technologies, the role of propaganda, and the challenges of trench warfare, as well as the devastating human cost of the war.The final sections of the book discuss the aftermath of the war, including the Treaty of Versailles and the reshaping of Europe’s political landscape. The authors focus on the lessons learned from the war and the hope for lasting peace. A School History of the Great War was written with the intent to educate the next generation about the horrors and causes of the war, offering both a historical account and a moral reflection on the impact of the conflict. It provides valuable insight into the immediate post-war period and the collective desire for peace following the devastation of World War I.
