A World Overview of WWI

Justin Jolly, History Professor, Messenger College

WWI was a global phenomenon and had profound effects on nations around the world. Many factors brought the world to war and there was no single reason that each nation or territory chose to enter armed conflict. Professor Jolly provides a world overview of the conflict and examines how global colonialism and imperialism played a part.
