History Of The Great War
Wesley Livesay·307 episodes
History of the Great War is a weekly podcast that will cover the First World War that occurred from 1914 and 1918. Every week we will be discussing the events that occurred exactly 100 years ago. We will journey from the borders of France in the blistering heat of 1914, to the shores of Gallipoli, to the banks of Somme, to the final knockout attempt by the German army in the spring of 1918.
Why listen
History Of The Great War is a detailed, chronological walk through the First World War and its aftermath, told mostly through clear solo narration with occasional expert interviews. Wesley Livesay follows campaigns, diplomacy, technology, politics, and the home front in manageable episodes that make a huge conflict feel understandable without flattening its complexity. It is a strong fit for listeners who like military history, long historical arcs, and shows that reward listening in order.
