|
June 28, 2014 One century after the start of World War I, the front line of death and destruction still leaves a mark through the Alps, Central Europe and beyond. It claimed some 14 million lives -- 5 million civilians and 9 million soldiers, sailors and airmen from 28 countries. The 1914-18 conflict was so unprecedented in its scope and savagery that it became known simply as "The Great War." Source: http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20140628/news/140629227/ |
