Europe in 1914

Europe, circa 1914:



Over the past few weeks I've been writing an essay about a subject that has links to World War One. I did a lot of research about that war in college, and I'm endlessly interested by the incredible effects it had, and still has, on the entire world. Nothing drives the point home more, I think, than to look at a map of Europe pre-WWI. So much has changed. So many problems that we're currently dealing with have their roots in the WWI area. It's mind-boggling to think about.
