The First World War is famous for the unprecedented loss of life on
a global scale; it was a conflict that affected the world forever.
However, it wasn't only in terms of bloodshed that the war rocked
the nation: it also massively impacted the industrial integrity of
Britain. This was a war not just of fighting, but of technological
and industrial advances. All areas of industry, from aviation to
food production, leapt ahead in terms of development over the
four-year period: from the Wright Brothers in 1903 to the Sopwith
Camel in 1917, and from the first motorcars to the tank within
twenty years. On a social level, working Britain experienced change
as well: with the men at war, it fell to the women of the country
to keep the factories going, challenging preconceptions as they
did. Here Anthony Burton shows how the First World War produced
fundamental changes in British society.
