    T
    he First World War sits rmly
    All these subjects are investigated
    in this commemorative issue from
    the
    Britain at War Magazine
    team.
    How the complex web of treaties
    and alliances led to a con ict that
    engulfed most of the developed
    world is explored, as is the rush of
    volunteers to ght for king, country
    and freedom.
    Also explored is how the opti-
    mism of the early weeks, in which
    everyone expected to be home by
    Christmas, led to the stalemate of
    trench warfare and the realisation
    that the con ict was going to be a
    protracted war of attrition. Amongst
    the other subjects discussed are
    the attacks on the UK both from
    the sea and the air; the war in the
    desert and the exploits of Lawrence
    of Arabia; and the battle of the great
    Dreadnoughts at Jutland.
    On 11 November 1918, the First
    World War came to an end. After
    all the ghting and the dying, the
    resultant peace agreement, the
    Treaty of Versailles, should have
    led to a lasting peace. It led only to
    resentment which exploded in an
    even more terrible con ict just two
    decades later.
    Yet on 11 November every year we
    quietly state our resolve to remem-
    ber the sacri ces of those men and
    women who lived and died 100 years
    ago. This is our rst testament to
    them. Others will follow.
    Over the course of the next ve
    years, the
    Britain at War Magazine
    team will be producing a number
    of publications similar to this one,
    examining in detail the momentous
    events of the First World War. All the
    key battles, campaigns, innovations
    and personalities of that con ict will
    be highlighted in what will prove to
    be an exciting collection of compel-
    ling stories and vivid illustrations.
    Together, we will remember that
    heroic generation.
    in our collective conscience
    as a period of terrible human
    suffering and the loss of almost
    an entire generation of young
    men. Yet, paradoxical though it
    may seem, from that death and
    destruction there was much to be
    proud of. Women found employ-
    ment and earned wages on an
    hitherto unprecedented scale. Men
    displayed a willingness to support
    their country and make sacri ces
    for their fellow men-in-arms as
    never before.
    The newly-independent coun-
    tries of Australia, New Zealand and
    Canada forged their identities on the
    slopes of the Gallipoli Peninsula and
    Vimy Ridge. Many men found their
    voice through the graphic and evoca-
    tive war poems that are still recited
    today.
    There were also great advances
    in technology. Aircraft began to play
    an increasingly signi cant role in
    warfare and the lumbering, clunk-
    ing tanks began to dominate the
    battle eld.
