The link is broken. But, after a google search I got to the website. Great Site!!. I am trying to add to my knowledge of WWI. The site's tagline is "the most natural and easiest way of learning history" And indeed it does seem natural and easy.

Took me way too long to realise that all the text is in hover-overs on the images. I had to go back several screens and start again.

Sidenote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzf9aHZmCAM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzf9aHZmCAM is a great WWI documentary. Also, If you like Dan Carlin, his WWI podcast series is amazing: https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-50-blueprint-for-armageddon-i/ https://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-50-bluepr...

  Related: http://www.wdfpodcast.com/vap/ http://www.wdfpodcast.com/vap/ This series just started on the 100th anniversary of the 1918 armistice, and the content is simply epic and bottomless. Can't recommend it enough.

  The Great War youtube channel is a good follow. Although perhaps was, they were doing week by week of 100 years ago, so I don't know if there'll be new content... https://m.youtube.com/user/TheGreatWar/featured https://m.youtube.com/user/TheGreatWar/featured

Yeah, I am trying as well, however I find it extremely complex, compared to WWII for example. Many decisions are very counter-intuitive unless you dig deep into the motivations. It's like the quantum mechanics of wars.

  Can you expand on this? WW1 has never struck me as more complex than WW2, except maybe the events leading up to the start.

Agreed, this site is wonderful. Definitely something I need to come back to after work and dedicate some serious reading time towards.

I've always wanted a history format that would present events as headlines in newspapers of the time. I think that would give a much more direct feeling to the history, as if you're living it now.
