How Britain contributed to German defeat in World War I
This podcast looks at the experience of fighting from the British perspective in the First World War. It starts with exploring the role of the BEF in thwarting the German Schlieffen Plan, then considers an in-depth appraisal of the nature of trench warfare. The success or failure of the Battle of the Somme is weighed up followed by consideration of how Britain came out victorious by 1918. The role of the war at sea is the final consideration and, some might argue, the most significant.
