The final part of the series documenting the First World War through the words of those who lived through the conflict.

The formal end of the First World War did little to relieve the suffering of millions across Europe.
Four empires had collapsed and large parts of the continent lay devastated.
The Peace Conference provided no real solutions, and instead the seeds were sown for another world war just one generation later. Narrated by Judi Dench.
