It is 100 years since the end of one of the most significant wars in modern history - World War One.

It became known as the Great War because it affected people all over the world and was the biggest war anyone had ever known. It even came to be known as ‘the war to end all wars’, as no conflict before World War One had caused destruction of this proportion before.
