The Great War and the Shaping of the 20th Century is a 1996 documentary series that aired on PBS. It chronicles World
War I over eight episodes.



Episode 1: Explosion



No one event or person caused the Great War. There were many factors that contributed to mobilization of the
belligerents. With a rapidly expanding European economy, people demanded social and governmental changes: British
suffragettes fought to win British women the right to vote; socialists called for reforms, uniting laborers to demand
that the wealth and power of a nation be used to benefit the majority. While in Russian, Tsar Nicholas II held fast to
an autocratic old-world view.

 

On June 28, 1914, Serbian fanatic, Gavrilo Princip, assassinated Archduke Franz-Ferdinand of Austria, causing Kaiser
Wilhelm of Germany to support Austria in punishing the Serbs, setting the stage for Russia - backing Serbia - and her
allies France and Britain to go to war. 

 

In the weeks after the assassination, none of the critical leaders had the power or will to slow down the decisions,
actions, reactions and attitude shifts of key government and military leaders. By August, millions of Europeans --
especially the military and diplomatic leaders of Austria-Hungary, Germany and Russia -- saw war as the way to save
their honor, as well as to solve the internal and international problems that needed to be resolved.



Episode 2: Stalemate



From the very beginning, the war grew rapidly out of control. New styles of warfare, like the use of gas and heavy
artillery, produced new kinds of horror and unprecedented levels of suffering and death. As a Germans army crossed into
Belgium, heading for Paris, the Russian Army - moving faster than the German generals had anticipated -- was already
pushing into East Prussia. The German forces on the Eastern Front, however, quickly defeated the Tsar's army at the
Battle of Tannenberg.

 

In the west, as the German army invaded Belgium, rumors and stories quickly spread of the atrocities the German soldiers
inflicted upon Belgium civilians. 

 

The French, believing the German thrust into Belgium to be a fake, launched their own offensive on the eastern border
between France and Germany the operations were disastrous, with the French army losing 27,000 soldiers in a single
day.

 

When the German invasion of France failed to take Paris or destroy French and British resistance on the river Marne,
stalemate quickly followed, and a line of trenches soon stretched along the war's Western Front from the Swiss Alps to
the English Channel. Christmas Eve of 1914 saw an extraordinary truce between the men fighting in the trenches that had
been called "the last twitch of the 19th century."
