World War I 1914-1918
Description
Book Introduction
World War I, which has never been dealt with in earnest in Korea,
Comprehensively analyze its background, causes, situation, and historical, social, and military significance!

World War I is the forgotten war.
Many people remember Hitler, the atomic bomb, and Stalingrad in World War II, but they pay little attention to the events of World War I, which occurred just 20 years earlier, with Kaiser Wilhelm II, poison gas, and the Battle of Verdun.
Although there are many readable translated books and works on World War II in Korea, it is no exaggeration to say that there are none on World War I.
This may be because World War I was older, smaller in scale, and less dramatic than World War II. However, its historical, social, and military significance are even greater, as the resentment of this war ultimately carried over into World War II and the battlefield expanded to the air and sea for the first time. It can be said that World War II cannot be properly understood without understanding World War I.

This book, written by three experts who have dedicated themselves to the study of World War I for many years, each detailing their respective fields of expertise—the Western Front, the Eastern Front, and the Mediterranean Front—details the situation and multifaceted meanings of World War I in detail, and vividly captures the breath of ordinary people of the time who had to personally bear the tragedy of war.
This book is the first book in Planet Media's "KODEF World War History" series, which is loved as part of the "War of the World" series that covers important individual battles in history, and which recently began the "KODEF Korean War History" series with "Joseon, Unrequited Love for Peace."
