Why this isn’t a generic PDF
- Every fact verified against authoritative sources — the National WWI Museum and Memorial, Imperial War Museums, Encyclopædia Britannica, U.S. Library of Congress, the U.S. Army Center of Military History, and peer-reviewed works by Keegan, Strachan, MacMillan, Clark, Tuchman, Rogan, and Tooze.

- Goes beyond the Western Front — full sections on the Eastern, Italian, Balkan, Middle Eastern, and African fronts, the war at sea and in the air, the Armenian Genocide, and the collapse of four empires.
- Designed for active study — glossary, 12 study questions, 5 long-form essay prompts, and a 10-question comprehension quiz with answer key.
