All This It Is Our Duty to Bear

BBC Two - The Great War, All This It Is Our Duty to Bear

By the end of 1916 a compromise peace is considered, but new leaders sought total victory.

Classic 1964 series. By the end of 1916 a compromise peace is considered, but the new leaders are committed to seeking total victory - at any cost.

This episode takes stock of the events of 1916. Both sides made heroic efforts to achieve victory, yet both sides had nothing to show but staggering losses at the year's end. The alternative to bloody and futile deadlock was a compromise peace. Towards the end of the year such a peace was considered, but rejected. Instead of peace, Europe appointed new leaders - ruthless men like Lundendorff and Lloyd George. Victory it was to be - at any cost. The war went on.
