How the ‘Great War’ redefined the world

Former enemies marked the centennial this week of the “Great War,” which pulled in world powers and killed 17 million soldiers and civilians across Europe and beyond. Jeffrey Brown reports on how the death and destruction of the world’s first fully industrialized war radically re-organized Europe and the Middle East, and altered the course of world history.
