In this part…

• Head offshore and to the skies to see how technology transformed the war and led to it being the first to be fought both at sea and in the air.
• Go underground and get an understanding of what trench warfare was really like for the soldiers who lived, suffered, fought and died there.
• Grasp how the war was fought all over the globe, from the Indian Ocean to the South Atlantic, from the heart of Africa to the heat and dust of Iraq and Palestine, and even right out in the middle of the Atlantic.
• Watch the world change irreversibly as Europe’s problems force America to come out of its shell and start playing a big role on the world stage.
