First World War.com
This  deep and ever-expanding site effectively uses a vast collection of articles, photographs, multimedia files, and more to create an exceptional overview of World War I that would impress even the most exacting historians. If you're new to the history of the "Great War," start with the How It Began section, a detailed outline of the events that led to the war. Once you've read the primers, you'll be ready to explore the rest of the site -- details of significant battles, biographies on the protagonists, landmark events, and personal memoirs of the combatants. The site goes even deeper and explores diverse topics not found in most recounts of WWI. For instance, the role of satirical magazines is discussed, and the war's poets, complete with profiles and samples of their work, earn a special section. The creator of the site explains that this is hobby, not a professional site, and is open to contributions and suggestions. However, with the plethora of content currently on display, you're sure to be occupied for hours. (in History) |
