Makes you wonder what the western powers were doing while this was going on.

Dying by the train-load on the Western Front and at Gallipoli.

Tumultuous times- WWI had a bigger influence on our modern world than WWII, in my opinion.

True. Without WW1, or, rather, Versailles and our involvement in WW1, its unlikely there would have been a Hitler, a WW2, or a communist presence in eastern Europe.

WWI was simply the event that caused WWII.

One can argue any event in our past helped to influence the world today.

hehe ;-)
