War Without End

It was "the war to end all wars."

History books tell us that World War I began in 1914 and ended four years later, but it didn't. In so many ways, we continue to live with it today. It saw the beginning of modern, mechanized warfare, of chemical warfare, and of the photography chronicling their results. Borders were redrawn, new states were born, empires fell, and the seeds of World War II were sown in the treaty that putatively ended the first. The ghosts, the mistakes, the horrors, and the broken promises of that war haunt us still, 100 years later: http://www.salon.com/2014/01/06/world_war_i_never_ended_partner/
