Second and last post dedicated to the 95th anniversary of the start of this war that has not ended all wars, the first post was about The Great War by air and sea.

The flames of war were fanned with the assassination of Arch Duke Ferdinand in Sarajevo - June 28th of 1914. According to Wikipedia english version, this is when it  started. According to Wikipedia spanish version, the war started a month later when Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia and Russia. Others point out the 1st of August as the starting date when Germany declares war on Russia.

This post contains, among victims of this war all kind of vehicles, animals, trenches, tanks and cannons . Wars offer not only curious photos but many people killed too.

World War I (initialized as WWI or WW1), also known as the First World War, the Great War, and the War to End All Wars, was a global military conflict (28 June 1914 – 11 November 1918) that embroiled most of the world’s great powers, assembled in two opposing alliances: the Entente and the Central Powers. Over 70 million military personnel were mobilized in one of the largest wars in history. The main combatants descended into a state of total war, pumping their entire scientific and industrial capabilities into the war effort. Over 15 million people were killed, making it one of the deadliest conflicts in history. [Wikipedia]

This month is the 95th anniversary of the start of this war that has not ended all wars. Do not forget it, do not to repeat it.

In this post we can see what was used by air and sea. The Great War on the ground is the last post for the anniversary.
