Transcript:

Dateline: the early 1900's. Europe's major powers were divided into the Triple Entente of Great Britain, France and Russia and the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austro-Hungary, and Italy. Then in 1914, Austro-Hungarian heir, Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo. Austro-Hungary declared war on Serbia but fellow Slavic nation, Russia, intervened.

Germany knew supporting Austro-Hungary meant conflict with Russia's allies and moved against Paris on the Western Front. The battleground became a series of trenches stretching from the English Channel all the way to Switzerland. As soldiers fought for inches, tanks, aerial dogfights, and chemical weapons made World War I even deadlier.

Meanwhile, Britain mobilized its world-class navy, requiring oil from the Ottoman Empire. Unfortunately, they'd just buddied up to Germany and Austro-Hungary as the Central Powers. With the help of T.E. Lawrence, the British incited Arabian revolt.

Now 1918, the war has raged for three and a half years, but the Allies have lost Russia to revolution. Fortunately, Germany's U-boat attacks and the Zimmerman Letter have incited the United States. Will the British and French hold off the Central Powers until they arrive? Can Italy reclaim lands lost to the Austro-Hungarians? Did we just disguise this history lesson as a LORE?

Have fun!
