Photos of the First World

13
The First World War in Western sources is often called the Great. And this is not by chance.
It lasted 4 for the year from 1914 to 1918. And in terms of the intensity of hostilities and the number of people involved in this war, it is commensurate with the Second World War, but in its historical significance, in many respects, it surpasses it.

The First World War was of great importance in terms of technological progress. It was during this war that the battlefields appeared Tanks, aircraft, submarines, machine guns, chemical weapon and much more.

What to say, the First World War marked the end of an entire era. Epochs of kings, nobles, nobility. It was replaced by the era of capital, in which we still live today, when money became the only value in the world, and all means were good to get them ...

We offer you a selection of photos from the battlefields of a distant war!

    "3. Flight of Russian troops."
    Please specify where, when and from whom the soldiers are fleeing in the photo. They retreat or go on the attack, from the photo it is not clear.

      Strange picture. Soldiers with slopes, but without weapons. There are too many of them.

          Perhaps this is simply a mistake when translating from English / French, which we often sin, often radically changing the meaning of the translated phrase, etc.

        Yes replenishment to the front. Either under shelling, or under an air raid ... It seems that they have already laid out this photo and several more, on which the soldiers calmly move in a column.

    The U-35 submarine was the most productive in history. Sank 226 and damaged 10 ships.
