World War 1, also known as the Great War or ‘The War to End All Wars’, lasted from July 28, 1914 to November 11, 1918. The world was caught up in a global conflict and Europe endured four years of horrific fighting. The landscape is still marked with mine and artillery craters, trenches, cemeteries and forts still mark the landscape. Numerous memorials honor the dead and museums exhibit vestiges of a time that should never be forgotten. This illustrated travel guide describes these sites, which are located in the northeast of France between Reims and the Swiss border, an area which saw some of the bloodiest battles of the war.
