WWI-HISTORY-CENTENARY
TO GO WITH AFP STORY
A file picture taken on November 11, 1927 of a "gueule cassee", the disfigured guardian of the site of Rethondes in the Compiègne Forest, northern France, where the Armistice treaty between the Allies and Germany was signed, 11 November 1918, in Ferdinand Foch's own railway carriage. The Great War pulled in close to 70 million soldiers on five continents, leaving some 10 million dead in battle and claiming many million more lives through hunger and disease.
The 1914-18 conflict toppled four empires, Austro-Hungarian, German, Ottoman and Russian, redrawing the world map and shaping the geopolitics of the coming century. AFP PHOTO
