Video: The War of the World (Part I) 

Excellent background information on the outbreak of The Great War (WWI): early 20th Century militarism, nationalism, ethnic rivalries, regional hegemonies, smaller wars and conflicts, etc.

Historian Niall Ferguson (host and author) contends that WWI, WWII and the Cold War were all basically connected as a modern "Hundred Years War" (1890s-1990s) like that of the Middle Ages -an ongoing series of conflicts with the same essential causes- though played out on a "World Stage" rather than just across the English Channel.
