| World War I: Chivalry Replaced By Machine They were sent by the millions to wage a war in a time of Kings and Empires with the expectation that it would simply be a war of maneuver and a few sharp actions to 'teach the enemy a lesson' and then a victory parade or two. Few were prepared for the first modern war where chivalry was replaced by machine and honor reduced to slaughter as soldiers employed and faced the first bombing airplanes, the earliest tanks, deadlier submarines and the first large-scale use of chemical weapons. The First World War ended with the entire continent of Europe scarred by miles of trenches, spent of resources and littered with the bodies of millions who died for National pride in the 'Great War'. |
