In this 22nd broadcast of TBR History Hour, Lt. Col. Edwin Kennedy, retired Professor of Military History from the Army Staff College talks about the historical importance of WWI.
Not only did WWI forever change the course of warfare, by introducing wrist watches, machine guns, airplanes, tanks and motorized vehicles into everyday use, but the Second World War was fought to resolve all of the many issues left unsettled at the end of WWI.
Korea, Vietnam and even the modern-day wars in the Middle East are all essentially the U.S. and Britain cleaning up messes they made back in WWI.
