The War to End All Wars, The Great War, World War One—whatever you want to call it, it was a kinda a big deal. For those who've learned about WWI in school, you've most likely heard it in connection with the the assassination of Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand. Some claim the bullet that took the Arch Duke's life was the sole cause of this global conflict. But we beg to differ. In this deep dive of WWI, the Bros discuss the state of the world at this time in history, the true causes of the war, and how it change how battles were won through the institution of new weapons like machine guns, tanks, and toxic gases. As always, we hope you learn something new and you decide to take an even deeper dive on this topic for yourself.
