Welcome to our coverage of World War One. (The Great War, WW1, WWI)

This is also the 61st podcast with Jimmy & Jean!

30 countries in 6 continents were involved in the conflict.

We broke this into two parts.

We have a special guest podcaster, Lora Vogt, Curator of Education and Interpretation at the World War One Museum and Memorial.

On one side of the war you have the Central Powers:
German Empire, Austrian Hungarian Empire, The Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria.

The Allies or Entente Powers was coalition of countries led by France, Britain, Russia, Italy, Japan, and the United States when we enter in 1917.

We discuss the beginnings of the war, US Neutrality, and how the United States enters the war.

It was more than Arch Duke Ferdinand getting assassinated, as you will see. Lots of reasons, but that was the spark that lit the powder keg for sure!

The Lusitania, and the Zimmerman Note are what eventually ends US neutrality. Find out why!

Notes and source links mentioned in the podcast:

See you on the other side,

Jimmy and Jean
