About This Book
Presents a concise, day-by-day chronicle of the First World War, tracing principal military, political, and diplomatic developments from 1914 through the post-armistice settlement. Entries summarize battles, campaigns, territorial changes, and government actions, with cross-references for continuity. Appendices reproduce or summarize key prewar instruments and the main documents concluding hostilities — including a statement of principles, the armistice and treaty terms — and an official précis of the military, naval, and aerial clauses to clarify the settlement's practical provisions.
