The July Crisis

Those interested in WW1 will already know that we are in the 100-year anniversary of the July Crisis.

Here's a video of an older documentary, The Guns of August, all about the start of the war:

Excellent documentary and well worth watching.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Here are a couple of others, both are the first episodes of series.

This one is based on the book by Hew Strachan:

And this one is the epic series from the 1960s, narrated by Michael Redgrave, and with interviews with actual veterans of the war:
