Magnificent Screen: Before the First World War, the World War Was Shown

In the midsummer of 1914, the European powers were gearing up for a war that would "end before Christmas." However, a huge sky curtain tore through the sky without warning and stretched over the entire Europe. From Berlin to Paris, from London to St. Petersburg, everyone looked up in horror - images from the future began to play on the sky. That is the true record of the First World War: the steel behemoth roared for the first time on the banks of the Marne, Verdun turned into hell on earth for three hundred days and nights, and 60,000 people died on the Somme in one day. The list of millions of casualties poured out like a waterfall. The "White Feather" movement caused the French to collapse first, and the originally confident British could no longer laugh. What's even more frightening is that the sky doesn't stop there. What follows is another even more tragic catastrophe - the Blitz tearing Europe apart, London groaning in flames, and the two mushroom clouds that end everything. When William II saw the empire collapsing, and when the entire European monarchy trembled in front of the sky - they finally understood that what was about to begin was not a glorious adventure, but the darkest chapter in the history of civilization.
