Good film, about how the real mess we still suffer from started, before and in WW1:

Blood and Oil: The Middle East in World War I:

Strange enough , the agreement of 1919 (Weizmann and Faisal) is not mentioned, but it is here (Wiki):

Maud, the girl who stowed away on a troopship to get to the front: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-0...02?section=ww1

Interesting little tale of a young girl keen to do her bit for Australia.

What's the name of the battleship/battlecruiser that's sinking about halfway through the video. I thought it was the HMS Barham until it didn't explode and I noticed the triple gun turrets.

Just an interesting fact that I would like to share about WW I. All Admirals that served during WW I had started there Careers when Sailing Ships where still major parts of a Countries Navy.

I forget where I read that at, but it just goes to show how fast technology had moved by that point.

25 little known facts about WWI: http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/...ar-one/5546018

I particularly like this one:

Quote:

When he served in WWI, Adolf Hitler, like most Germans with facial hair, was sporting a full Kaiser moustache—twiddly points and all. Hitler was ordered to trim his existing facial hair down to the more iconic toothbrush to better fit his gasmask.

Some cool photo's by a German soldier who took his camera to war: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-09-0...-lines/5700758
