“The First World War was a tragic and unnecessary conflict.”
John Keegan, The First World War – National Bestseller
We stand on the brink of an incredible opportunity. From 2014-2018, the entire world will have a unique window of time when we’ll be able to reflect on how to learn from history and move toward a better future.
100 Years Ago (1914-18), a war began that taught us how quickly and carelessly humanity and life can be destroyed.
The Centennial of World War One provides us with a chance to honour the memory of the brave who fought for the freedom we enjoy today. The hundredth anniversary of WWI is our chance to learn from the mistakes made by the leaders a century ago, mistakes that led to massive bloodshed and unnecessary violence.
On June 28 1914, two gunshots changed the course of modern history and brought the world to the brink.
