	World War I - Wikipedia
		It is accepted that the triggering event for the war was the death (June 28, 1914) of the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria, and his morganatic wife Sophia in Sarajevo, Bosnia at the hands of a pro-Serbian nationalist assassin (a Bosnian Serb student named Gavrilo Princip).
		The common view was that it would be a short war of manoeuvre with a few sharp actions (to "teach the enemy a lesson") and would end with a victorious entry into the capital (the enemy capital, naturally) then home for a victory parade or two and back to "normal" life.
		Dissatisfaction with the Russian government's conduct of the war grew despite the success of the June 1916 Brusilov offensive[?] in eastern Galicia against the Austrians, when Russian success was undermined by the reluctance of other generals to commit their forces in support of the victorious sector commander.

	World War I. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		World War I was immediately precipitated by the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist in 1914.
		World War I and the resulting peace treaties (see Versailles, Treaty of; Saint-Germain, Treaty of; Trianon, Treaty of; Neuilly, Treaty of; Sèvres, Treaty of) radically changed the face of Europe and precipitated political, social, and economic changes.
		Yet when World War I ended, the immense suffering it had caused gave rise to a general revulsion to any kind of war, and a large part of mankind placed its hopes in the newly created League of Nations.

		By no means are all homoerotically charged war poems elegies, but in the poem on the death of a comrade the poet is usually most free to express passion and sensuality.
		But Whitman's war poems lack the bitterness that suffuses the poetry of World War I. Even when Whitman has an occasion to mention official deceit, as in "Come Up from the Fields Father," he does not suggest that every death is a waste and the war a mere sham.
		Most of the war poets were of the officer class (David Jones being an exception) and had acquired a classical education at a school for boys; a large number of their poems express a tenderness for the enlisted soldier that is at once sensuous and paternalistic.

		The First Balkan War of 1912 did not reduce Turkey to a "bridgehead around Adrianople." Rather, that city was included in the expanded Bulgaria; it was regained by Turkey in the Second Balkan War of 1913.
		The theme of the book is how the "forward-looking clergy [progressive Protestants] embraced the war as a chance to achieve their broadly defined social gospel objectives." Thus, the situation Gamble describes is, in a sense, the opposite of the one today, when it is the leaders of "fundamentalist" Protestantism that are among the worst warmongers.
		On the conclusion of the war and the ill-fated mess produced by the victors at the 1919 Paris conference, Tooley is true to the facts, as well as mordant, referring in ironic quotes to the "peace" treaties forced down the throats of the defeated nations, above all, Germany.

		Strachan argues convincingly that the war had become a 'world war' long before the involvement of the United States and the Russian Revolution of 1917.
		And it was the existence of these territories that helped explain why the war did not seem futile at the time: for Britain and France, it quickly became a struggle for the defence of liberalism.

		This conflict, the first general European land war in a century, was of an unprecedented scale.
		In this course, we will examine the literary response to what was called at the time "The Great War." Some writers struggled to make sense of the carnage; others merely tried to record it in all its gruesome detail.
		Themes examined will include the horrors of trench warfare, the conflict between generations, comradeship across the front lines, the experience of women and non-Europeans in the war, and the death of an old civilization and birth of a new one.

	snarkout seven things: the great war and modern memory
		Fussell explains this, sensibly enough, as a product of personal interest: he was a line officer in the infantry in World War II, so the literature of his predecessors of a generation earlier was what fascinated him.
		I can't say that this is a bad decision; the war poets and their novelist and memoirist brethren were largely officers in the infantry.
		I assume that this is because Fussell's views have become the dominant the thirty years since he published, but there's very little to say against the fact that, for instance, a number of the most influential writers on the war were gay and their work was intensely homoerotic.

		The initial motive for warfare is encapsulated by a political objective; war is a means to a political end.
		Any considerations for waging war (offensive or defensive) must be based on the political situation at home, in the adversarial state, and in the world community of potential allies and enemies.
		On War is a realistic, pragmatic approach to warfare in all its facets--skill and luck, offense and defense, battle and statecraft, etc. The subservience of the armed forces to political control remains a strong source of friction in today's states--this is only one aspect of the timelessness of Clausewitz's work.

		Students readily grasp the notion that writers shaken by a cataclysmic four-year war would feel impelled to develop new forms and devices for conveying a post-traumatic vision of the modern world.
		But the serious soldier-poets of World War I met the challenge of representing the new reality inaugurated by the war by engaging in their own poetic struggles with the received and emergent aesthetic traditions of their day.
		The second point students are led to explore in some depth is that literature is not created ex nihilo out of some unmediated or pure experience, even an experience as dramatic and vivid as military combat.
