Examples:

Battles:The Battle of the Somme was one of the most significant battles of WWI due to the loss of life incurred, the horrific experience of trench warfare, and the new weapons that were employed.

Songs:These songs from WWI reveal many truths about the British population at this time including the nationalistic feelings of the young people, the naiveté of the soldiers going off to war, and the mistaken belief that the war would end within months.
