One of the most comprehensive World War 1 documentary series ever made recalls the causes conduct, and aftermath of "The War to End All Wars". Along with the social, political, and economic fabric of the times, the roles of key figures are analyzed in depth. Produced during the Golden Age of CBS TV documentaries, this series, narrated by Robert Ryan, contains some of the highest quality World War 1 footage known to exist.
SUMMER AT SARAJEVO: Hopes for a new century of peace and progress die with the assassination of Austrian Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo. The great powers mobilize and seem unable or unwilling to stop the march to war.
CLASH OF THE GENERALS: All of Europe has become an armed camp. Now the maneuvers become real as Germany and her allies strike in both the East and West. The first World War has begun.
DOOMED DYNASTIES: Take a look at the royal families of Europe along with the military and political leaders whose plans and mistakes would soon engulf Europe in war. Related to each other by blood and marriage, the majority of these dynasties will not survive the war they will soon bring on.
ATROCITY 1914: The German Army sweeps into neutral Belgium, drawing Great Britain into a war it does not want to fight. As the small B.E.F. lands in Europe, the Germans leave a swath of destruction in their wake.
THEY SANK THE LUSITANIA: On the seas there is a new weapon, the submarine. German U-boats sink hundreds of ships, including the Lusitania, in an effort to blockade England. The new tactics of unrestricted submarine warfare add propaganda fuel to the fire of American public opinion.
VERDUN, THE INFERNO: No one battle came to represent the fury and bloody attrition of World War I better than the siege of Verdun. Amid the explosions and mud, the French and German Armies fought each other to an impasse. Thousands died at Verdun, and in the end, little had changed.
BATTLE OF JUTLAND: When the war began, England claimed supremacy on the seas, but the German High Seas Fleet sought to challenge British control. The fleets would clash in the only one great action at sea, the Battle of Jutland.
