Until today, World War I had always been seen as something that happened in black and white, but it was not real. Using previously unseen archive images from Russia, Germany, France, Italy, the United States and the British Imperial War Museum, this series has been colored using the latest computer technology, returning color to the First World War for the first time, as as experienced by those who fought and those who survived. It took 5 months and 490 technicians to color the black and white files, practically unpublished. It was during the First World War that the fighter plane was developed, poison gas was introduced, the tank and flamethrowers were invented, and the use of the machine gun and heavy artillery spread, resulting in massive destruction.
This series provides a unique perspective on the events that occurred between 1914 and 1918 and saw how 65 million men took up arms to fight each other, throwing the world into chaos. This is the definitive guide to World War I as you have never seen before.
