Only War, Nothing But War

Episode 20 of 26

Classic 麻豆官网首页入口 series. The war has evolved from an old-fashioned localised conflict to an all-engulfing 'total' war involving entire nations.

Exploring how the war had evolved from an old-fashioned military conflict to a war engulfing whole nations, fought with passionate and irrational hatred. But out of 'total war' grew modern ideas of a state's responsibility for its citizens, and the concept of managing an economy as one vast business. Whatever the final outcome of the war, the pre-1914 world had come to an end, and a new era was dawning.
