Touched off by a terrorist take action in Bosnia and distributing all prematurely beyond the expectations of those who had been involved, World Conflict I was an unprecedented catastrophe with a ghastly cost. Following this first "total conflict" - the first turmoil involving complete societies mobilized to wage unrestrained conflict, devoting all their wealth, industries, corporations, and the lives of these citizens to earn success at any price - the planet itself could not be the same. These 36 riveting half-hour lectures cut through the tangle of historical data to uncover the patterns that make sense of complicated occurrences. Whereas most World Conflict I narratives give attention to the Western Entrance in France and Flanders, using its mazelike trenches, gas disorders, regular shelling, assaults "over the top" into withering machine weapon hearth, and duels of dog-fighting aviators in the sky, Teacher Liulevicius also devotes great attention to other important arenas, like the Eastern Entrance, the Southern Fronts, the Conflict at Sea, the Arab Revolt, the Communist Revolution, the Armenian Massacre, the Spanish Influenza, and much more. Teacher Liulevicius combines chronological and thematic solutions for a sweeping review of World Conflict I's many proportions. He explores themes or templates including the surprising eagerness of all people to plunge into common slaughter, the unforeseen strength of societies having total conflict, the radically different desires and hatreds that the conflict evoked, with exceptional contrasts between traditional western and eastern European countries, the meanings that the various attributes ascribed to the conflict, and the role of various ideologies in the war's course and carry out.
