Sextus: You can break a man's skull. You can arrest him. You can throw him into a dungeon. But how do you control what's up here? [taps his head] How do you fight an idea?

Messala: Sextus, you ask how to fight an idea. Well, I'll tell you how... with another idea!

Explore the irrevocable changes five years of cataclysmic conflict wrought on the global stage. Discover the complex impact on familiar structures as war was fought on three diverse continents of battlefields and the waters that connected them to the American homefront. As borders were literally and figuratively redrawn, Allies celebrated a victory and the world came to terms with the irreparable devastation and losses of the “war to end all wars.” Featured presenters include Mike Hankins, Robert Laplander, Adriane Lentz-Smith, Brian Steed, Graydon Tunstall, Kara Vuic and Geoffrey Wawro.

U.S. Army Command & General Staff College professor Brian Steed talks about the impact of World War I on the Middle East and how the outcome of the war continues to play a role in present-day conflicts.
