America Enters the Great War

7/4/2017

0 Comments

 
Since the beginning of 2014, I have been commemorating the events of a century ago. For one thing, I have been reading Peter Englund’s The Beauty and the Sorrow: An Intimate History of the First World War, which gives diary accounts of how soldiers and civilians experienced the conflict. And of course, I was present in Sarajevo for the centenary of the assassination, and it was largely in anticipation of that trip that I launched Galloping Gypsy when I did.
 
I am mainly interested in World War I from a European perspective, so I won’t comment much on this anniversary. But a great uncle of mine fought for the U.S. in France. My family knows little of his service, since he never talked about it.
 
Please see my posts from the anniversary of the assassination in Sarajevo and pics from the anniversary of the outbreak of war on my Gallery page. You might also be interested in my entry on the last emperor of Austria-Hungary, and how he might have brought an early end to the war.
