The First World War Began Exactly 100 Years Ago

Clockwise from the top: The aftermath of shelling during the Battle of the Somme, Mark V tanks cross the Hindenberg Line, HMS Irresistible sinks after hitting a mine in the Dardanelles, a British Vickers machine gun crew wears gas masks during the Battle of the Somme, Albatros D.III fighters of Jagdstaffel 11

My Comment: Only a hundred years ago? A lot has change since then.

Wikipedia's account of World War One is a good one to read if you have the time.
