About one hundred years ago the First World War broke out, people thought about many of the causes of this tragic incident, and the results continue to shade the future of humanity. At the end of the war four years later, 10 million young people were killed and 20 million people were injured, of which 6 million were permanently disabled people. The war is $ 350 million and $ 1919. Although this is a computable cost, the cost of human suffering and cruel value is immeasurable.

Needless to say, World War I was the first modern war, but it tends to forget the meaning of 100 years ago. The size and character of the First World War is unprecedented and it was also shocking for Americans who experienced a civil war half a century ago. Many veterans are plagued by trench experience, but the US and military culture do not promote trauma on the battlefield. Shell shock is considered a mental illness, a result of paralysis, a shameful illness. In this environment, Stubby Sergeant is the ideal hero of the First World War. Because he is an ideal of perseverance. He is a lively little animal that is going out to participate in the parade, appears at the occasion of politician and military brass photographs, and promises to stay in the news.

The first American war dog fought bravely at the west line - and then the country helped forget the bad casualties.

About 100 years have passed since the world fell into the first terrorist attack in the world war two times. It began with sunlight and patriotic enthusiasm, and experienced mud, suffering, injury and carnage for four years on an unprecedented scale, ending with revolution and social unrest. World War I was a watershed. It abolished the king and the emperor, caused universal election rights and workers' revolution, and forever changed the attitude of people to war. They could not get these jobs at the end of the war, but they continued to work at more work and carried out several new work areas. They voted, or at least some of them voted (All women voting has to wait for another 10 years). They began to wear more comfortable and free clothes. Marriage and mothers are still considered to be the main role of women, but the number of women's children is beginning to decline sharply.
