WWI-HISTORY-CENTENARY
This file picture of a postcard released by the Historial de Peronne, Museum of WW1, shows German Emperor and King of Prussia Wilhelm II (R) smiling to his cousin Nicholas II, Emperor of Russia, Grand Duke of Finland, and titular King of Poland, some weeks prior the Declaration of the First World War. the eve of World War I, Europe's great powers ruled the globe, their scientists, engineers and artists at the peak of innovation. Yet in 1914, the Old Continent plunged into a war of unprecedented violence, dragging half the planet in its wake. The Great War of 1914-18 sucked in nations from every continent, with battles fought around the globe. But its roots were firmly in Europe. "Like all its predecessors, it began as a purely European conflict, arising out of the conflicting ambitions and mutual fears of the European powers," explained British historian Michael Howard.
