WORLD WAR I
It is called by many names: The Great War, The War to end all Wars, World War I. The conflict that engulfed the world between 1914 and 1918 left an indelible mark on the 20th century and shaped the world in which we live today. This video shows the tumultuous events that led to World War I, the nations that were drawn into the conflict, the Russian Revolution and the rise of communism, how the submarine and airplane altered the nature of combat and how the peace treaty virtually assured a second World War. World War I-Cause and Effect tells the complete story of the first modern War.
WORLD WAR II
Out of the ashes of World War I came an uneasy peace that fueled old hatreds, gave rise to dictatorships and set the wheels in motion for what many believed unthinkable World War II. This Video shows the rise and fall of Adolph Hitler and Nazi Germany. The decisive battles in Europe, Asia and North Africa. Pearl Harbor and the War in the Pacific. The decision to use the Atomic Bomb on Japan. Post-War Europe and the beginning of the Cold War. World War II-Cause and Effect tells the complete story of the most destructive War in history.
