BLOOD ON THE BATTLEFIELD
It was called the War to End All Wars—the first global war in the history of the world. World War I spanned across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and over the oceans.
A single event led to the war. In 1914 the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, was assassinated. The killer was a Serb named Gavrilo Princip. His actions led Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia. Most of the world thought the war would only be between those two countries.
Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife, Sophie, were shot at point-blank range. They died an hour later.
But then Serbia asked Russia to help it fight. France had promised to help Russia. Great Britain joined the war to help France. They formed the Allied Powers, known as the Allies.
Austria-Hungary asked Germany for help. Along with the Ottoman Empire, they formed the Central Powers. In just a few months, a small war had become a global conflict.
New weapons made this war terrifying. Flamethrowers, tanks, airplanes, machine guns, submarines, and chemical warfare were used for the first time. As the battles grew, so did each country’s weapons technology. Sometimes countries stole ideas from each other.
You are a young man ready to do your part. There are many ways to serve and protect your country. Which will you choose?

WAR IN THE AIR
World War I started a year ago, in 1914. It began far away in Austria-Hungary. You’re not too sure how it started. All you know is that your country, Great Britain, is fighting alongside Russia and France. Germany and other countries are the enemy.
One day a shadow passes over your London home. It is Germany’s most terrifying weapon: the zeppelin. Each huge airship carries up to two tons of explosives. Bombs have been dropped on Great Britain since early 1915. Buildings, streets, and houses are destroyed in these air raids. The sight of a zeppelin sends everyone into a panic.
Zeppelins could fly higher and farther than airplanes. They could stay in the air for 24 hours and reach speeds of 78 miles per hour.
Great Britain has no way
