The Whole History of World War I

I'm not a history major. Before reading this book, my knowledge of World War I was limited to events such as the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, the Paris Peace Conference, which were briefly mentioned in junior high school textbooks, and a few names in Battlefield One. This book at least made me know a little more. This book is not only about the First World War, but also about a past era. After his wife was assassinated and his beloved son committed suicide, the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Joseph received news of his nephew's assassination and started the war in grief. Bismarck and the Kaiser jointly created a powerful empire and system, but when the war machine was launched, later generations lost the ability to lead. When big countries control the European chessboard, small countries have lost the possibility of staying away from war. It is history that creates these, but there is no doubt that this book is an excellent narrator.

I have gained more knowledge, and I have supplemented my historical knowledge about the First World War.

The early 20th century was a time of restlessness and unrest. Since the emergence of industrial civilization represented by machines and metropolises, the colonial powers and their interest groups have begun a new world-wide struggle. The First World War occurred from 1914 to 1918. The main battlefield was in Europe but it affected the whole world. It is a battle for hegemony between imperialist countries and an unprecedented disaster in human history. It comes to the world as the god of destruction. This book is divided into two parts: "Historical Documentary" and "Special Explanation". It not only analyzes the war situation and strategies and tactics, introduces the battle process, main generals, weapons and equipment, but also discusses historical mysteries and anecdotes of World War I. It is supplemented by more than 200 precious photos to restore the original appearance of World War I as much as possible and vividly describe this tragic history of blood and tears, crime and punishment, life and death. Looking back on this unprecedented catastrophe and reliving those years of blood and fire can not only enrich knowledge, but also learn historical lessons and reflect more deeply on issues such as human survival and development, war and peace, so as to cherish life and peace more.

The First World War at the beginning of the 20th century had a profound impact on human history, the history of civilization, the history of science, the history of war, and the world structure. Zhang Huiyan's full history of World War I is divided into two parts: historical documentation and thematic commentary. It analyzes the war situation and strategies and tactics, and introduces the battle process, main generals, and weapons and equipment, such as the famous Battle of the Marne, the Battle of the Somme, and the Battle of Verdun. Reviewing this history of blood and fire can not only enrich knowledge, but also learn historical lessons, so as to cherish life and peace more.

It's very comprehensive. It turns out that human wars are so cruel, but wars seem inevitable.

It's quite good, very informative and rewarding, thank you!

War is an extension of politics. Understanding war can help us better understand that period of history.

Panoramic reproduction of the First World War from 1914 to 1918. During the reading process, through the author's passionate words and gradually deepening plot development, you will deeply feel the current situation and changes in politics, military and economic aspects of society during the First World War. Based on rigorous and rich historical materials, it depicts cruel war scenes and the cruel struggle between justice and evil. This book is a historical and tragic epic.

This book is suitable for a history novice like me. The same thing will be repeatedly explained from different angles and different approaches, making it easier for beginners to remember and understand the cause, process, and result. The first book I read at the beginning of 2026 [Like]

"The Complete History of World War I" depicts the official start of the First World War in 1914, marked by several raids by the German team in Belgium and northeastern France. The previous Sarajevo incident was the fuse that set off the powder keg. The main root cause of the outbreak of this war was the competition for resources and the allocation of colonies among various countries, as well as various factors such as the political needs of each country. Reading war books is inevitably boring, so when reading this book, it is recommended to proceed layer by layer from three dimensions.

I didn't listen to the online history class. Come here and learn about the history of World War I.

The history of the First World War is told in great detail. This war was started in Europe. It grasps the historical context of the grudges and wars of various countries and describes them in great detail. The time span in the book is very large and there is a lot of content, but the only regret is that it lacks this detail of annotations that a historical work should have. Another point is that as a history and a work about war, it seems a bit boring. Reading requires a certain amount of patience.

Very good, the content is quite comprehensive.

Easy to understand. Very attractive 👍

Very good, very good, love watching it very much

Reading history makes people wise! [You taste carefully]

Okay, I'll take a look at it in my spare time.

Can anyone tell me about life at the grassroots level in Germany after World War I or recommend some books? This one doesn't seem to be mentioned

Helps us understand the history of world development

When was this book published?

Easy to understand and professional!

A lot of unknown history unfolds

The entire process of the First World War is described in detail. This book is enough for amateurs to have a comprehensive understanding of the First World War.

Good, good, good, good

The language is concise and the scene is magnificent.

A very good history book of World War I

Nice framework, well explained

Concise, clear and refreshing

It's very detailed. It would be better if it was accompanied by a picture. From the picture, you can intuitively feel the tactics of each army. Otherwise, I can't always find the place names.

The content of the work is very rich. It turns out that most of the weapons in modern warfare were invented in World War I. Give the author a thumbs up.
