Views of World War I

Abstract: A 3 page essay that examines 2 views of WWI. History texts, such as Matthew Perry's Western Civilization: A Brief History, look at wars and major events from the broad perspective. Perry's analysis of the First World War, for example, focuses primarily upon the major decisions of the war and those who made them. This contrasts with Erich M. Remarque's perspective and focus in his novel All Quiet on the Western Front, in which the focus is primarily that of the common man. Both perspectives are needed to fully understand the cataclysmic conflict that history calls World War I. No additional sources cited.
