Improve?

Are we still doing the article improvement drive? This article says nothing about the events that led up to the war, or Wilson's 14 points plan. DanH 18:34, 25 April 2007 (EDT)

Russian Revolution

"the October Revolution ended any hopes for democracy within the former Tsarist territories for another two generations" - I would suggest it ended hopes until 1923 and the death of Lenin, when Russia seems to be on the verge of becoming a social democracy. Then, alas, Stalin won control. - Stevendavy

Hope wasn't lost until Trotsky was kicked out. GodlessLiberal 14:54, 29 April 2007 (EDT)

Global war?

"It was the first global war in history." It wasn't a global war. It was a European war. Blaise 18:07, 8 May 2007 (EDT)

Blaise; there were engagements in the Middle East, West Africa, the Pacific. The only continent not to be involved was South America. and I am not too sure about that. The last full-scale mass cavalry charge in history took place at Beersheba in the Holy Land in October 1917...by Australians would you believe! It was bloody global, mate!AlanE 22:19, 15 May 2007 (EDT)

This was a global war Samlake 20:25, 9 March 2009 (EDT)
The first global war was the Seven Year's War, according to Winston Churchill. I am inclined to believe him.--JWeatherman 10:01, 30 March 2009 (EDT)

American casualties

I would like to note the reasons behind the American troops having such a high mortality rate compared to other nations soldiers, but I'm not sure how to add it. Any thoughts? --JasonN 00:03, 23 December 2009 (EST)
