	World War I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The War was the catalyst for the Bolshevik Russian Revolution, which would inspire later Communist revolutions in countries as diverse as China and Cuba, and would lay the basis for the Cold War standoff between the Communist Soviet Union and the United States.
		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.

	Causes of World War I
		World War I was the result of leaders' aggression towards other countries which was supported by the rising nationalism of the European nations.
		Economic and imperial competition and fear of war prompted military alliances and an arms race, which further escalated the tension contributing to the outbreak of war.
		At the settlement of the Congress of Vienna in 1815, the principle of nationalism was ignored in favor of preserving the peace.

		In the running with Wilfred Owen for the title of greatest of the Great War poets, Isaac Rosenberg is distinguished from the other war poets by the fact that he was both Jewish (as was Siegfried Sassoon) and an enlisted man (as was Ivor Gurney and David Jones).

	The Great War Retold by Ralph Raico
		These are boom times for histories of World War I. Like its sequel, though to a lesser degree, it seems to be the war that never ends.
		The war was greeted as a cleansing, purifying moment, at least by the urban masses, whose enthusiasm easily outweighed the rural population’s relative passivity.
		The quickly escalating costs of the war led to unprecedented taxation and a vast redistribution of wealth, basically from the middle classes to the recipients of government funds: contractors and workers in war industries, subsidized industrialists and farmers, and, most of all, financiers.

		At the start of the Great War in 1914, Germany was a relatively young power, only coming into existence following a series of wars in 1871.
		The tripwire that set off the century's first global conflict was Austria's declaration of war against Serbia on July 28, 1914, a month after Archduke Franz Ferdinand (the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne) was assassinated in Sarajevo by a Serbian fanatic.
		A war between Austria and Serbia meant a war between Austria and Russia -- Serbia's traditional ally.

	The Great War in a Different Light
		Wars are primarily about fighting and killing, but it would be a great oversimplification to state that that is all they are about.
		Wars can set about vast changes in society, be switching points in history, can be begetters of social movements and the origin of future problems.
		Essentially, both the conflicts that lay at the origin of the Great War as well as the newly created enmities resulting from the Great War remained unresolved and led to a continuation of the great struggle of nations some 20 years later.

	The Great War
		It seemed to represent the total nadir of any 'art' of war there might be, while the war memorials in every town or village stood as a permanent reminder of the horrific human cost.
		It was the first war in which all the new weaponry of the later nineteenth century was properly used in practice.
		The Great War was 'the first modern war' not because it saw extensive use of trenches (a technology that had already been well known to Vauban - and even to Julius Caesar), but because it used High Explosives.

		The conclusion of the war helps to break much of this monotony, yet it ends in a way that is clearly a set-up for the subsequent novels, as the characters are being too obviously positioned for the postwar roles that Turtledove expects them to serve.
		As the war continues, new tactics are employed that allow the U.S. to force her enemies to seek peace- but that's just the beginning of the troubles that lie ahead, troubles that both Yankees and Rebs simply aren't prepared for.
		In the "Great War" trilogy, the USA, now allied with Imperial Germany, is looking for revenge against the Confederate States of America and their Canadian and British allies.

	WHO WON THE GREAT TURBOT WAR? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The major losers in the so-called turbot war would appear to be the Spanish and Portuguese fishermen.
		John Cummins, a Reform MP who was his party's critic on the turbot issue, insisted the turbot war did nothing to save the fish stock but resulted in Canada giving up a major share of the stock to the Europeans and appearing to flout international fisheries law.
		McCurdy said in an interview that without the arrest of the Estai, Canada would have continued to be frustrated in its efforts to persuade the Europeans to curb foreign overfishing and the use of such things as illegal fine-meshed nets.
