In Britain, all mothers decided to spiritually protect their children on the front with pocket Bibles until they literally ran out. It was said that not only did they protect them in a spiritual way, but that carrying the Bible over them had protected them from bullets. There are two documented cases of two soldiers who were saved thanks to the Bible in their pockets.

Millions of soldiers died on the western front during the First World War. The horrible stories and images of the front support the fictional idea that the fight in the trenches was a bloodbath. However, statistics tell a different story. It is true that there were days of great violence during the war years, such as the first day of the Battle of the Somme. But, despite that, about 9 out of 10 soldiers who went to the trenches survived.

Many casualties were not for the bullets

They were more than nine million dead, but not only because of the shrapnel. The deaths due to flu, pneumonia, tuberculosis were counted by thousands. We must bear in mind the conditions in which they were, infected with lice, rats and always soaked. Diseases of warfare, trench foot and trench flu emerged. Keep in mind that they did not have the help of antibiotics (it was not until the Second World War). Although in a smaller proportion, venereal diseases also played a leading role.

During the course of the war, 8 million soldiers died in total and 9 million civilians. In addition, the bombings destroyed 300,000 houses, 6000 factories, 1000 miles of train lines and 112 coal mines. In military terms, 12 million tons of ships sank. Even within these dates we could consider that the terms in which Germany had to surrender were those that provoked the rise of Hitler a few years later. Many historians considered that the war never ended, that is, it was only by a ceasefire until the beginning of the next.

The war was a significant economic cost for the nations that participated in it. Germany and Britain spent about 60% of what their economy produced, having to raise taxes and also borrow money from citizens. Money was also printed to buy weapons and other supplies necessary for battles, which contributed to the generation of inflation. The war also created restrictions on trade, which were exacerbated by the exaggerated protectionist policies adopted by the countries. This generated a globalized breakdown of the world economic system, with disastrous consequences such as the Great Depression in 1929.

The First World War generated important social changes, the birth rates fell abruptly due to the death of millions of young men. In addition to this, many citizens lost their homes and had to flee to other countries.
The role of women also changed, as they had to replace men in offices and industries. In this line, the rights of women began to increase, such as the right to vote.
The upper social classes ceased to have such a dominant role in society, as the middle and lower classes began to demand their rights after the war.

Some historians consider that a complete generation was lost when so many young soldiers died. In addition, more than 7 million men were completely unable to continue their lives normally due to the aftermath of the war.
The wounds in people were not only physical-mutilations, burns and facial damage-but also psychological, leaving a high cost in indirect consequences, much more than any previous war in history.
A sense of disillusion and distrust of political figures also appeared. A process of bitter acceptance of reality began, instead of the optimistic dreams that had existed before

It happened as a way to conquer colonies and areas of influence, as happened with the German Empire, which used its ally Austria-Hungary, an empire in decline and subordinated to Berlin. But this could only be achieved at the expense of the empire at that time, Britain, which also had its own subordinate allies, such as France. The geographical area of immediate dispute between all the powers was the Balkans, the territory that had been dominated until recently by the Turkish Empire, which was sinking and dismembering, and the sector of Eastern Europe that was under the boot of the Russian Empire , also in accelerated decadence after the 1905 revolution.
