Yet today it is popular on the left and the far right to downplay the significance of WW1, its combatants, and America's "dubious" role in it. It's unforgivable that our contemporaries are forgetting the sacrifices so many made to save the west just 110 years ago.
Those are some astounding numbers. One can easily seey why, with >70% casualties, Russia was ripe for revolution and France was sent into a seemingly irreversible decline. It's also easy to see wny the Western democracies had such an aversion to war during the twenties and thirties--an aversion that Hitler used to his advantage.
