I am more interested in World War One, mainly because I am quite fascinated by the weird balance between the traditional social and militaristic characteristics of the 19th Century and the technological advancement of the 20th, i.e horses v machine guns. Plus, I am intrigued by the geography of Europe at that time and the existence of imperialist Empires, which were much more prominent in WW1. WW2 may have been more truly a "world war", but in many senses WW1 does compete with this, with theatres in all over Europe, Russia, the Otttoman Empire and the Pacific, with many countries involved. An even greater feat considering the inadequate transport facilities of the time.
