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.
