WWI: How The Scars Of The Great War Changed The 20th Century | Long Shadow: Parts 1-3 | War Stories

The events of the First World War and its impact on the 20th century are commemorated and remembered every year, but what is it that we are remembering? A terrible sacrifice? A pointless war? Or the bravery of men and women, remembered in poignant war poetry?

In this one off extended cut, The Long Shadow looks back on the events of the war and asks how did they impact the following years of the 20th century, and how has the 20th century and its following events shaped our memory of The Great War.
