History

Two manuscripts in one audiobook:

• World War I: An Enthralling Guide from Beginning to End • World War II: An Enthralling Guide to the Second World War

It is well known that World War I was kicked off by the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The world superpowers engaged in the bloodiest conflict in history at that time, with millions of casualties on either side. World War I transformed the socio-political landscape of the early 20th century and shaped the lives of countless people for decades to come.

In part one of this audiobook, you will learn about:

• The long nineteenth century and how it affected the political landscape • Germany and Italy’s unification • New technological advancements that shaped the war • The Austro-Hungarian problem and the start of WWI • The influential battles of Verdun, the Somme, Isonzo, and Gallipoli • The entry of the United States and the Russian Revolution • The final moments of the war • The Paris Peace Conference and the new world order

Regardless of how much has been written about it, new information continues to be discovered about the thousands of events that make up the six years that shaped the world we live in today.

WWII is inextricably linked with Hitler and the Nazis; however, there is so much more to discover. In this book, learn about the major events that transpired around the world to create a perfect storm that allowed Hitler to rise to power.

In the second part of this book, you will find topics like:

• How the end of the First World War helped lead to the Second World War • Hitler’s rise to power • Conflicts and rumblings in Africa and Asia • The Holocaust • War of ideologies • The major battles of the war and how they impacted the war effort
