There is an excellent series of lectures delivered at the National WWI Museum in Kansas City on all aspects of the Great War, you can find them on You Tube.
I've always been fascinated by WWI, it changed everything, and then WWII pretty much just rubber stamped the results. The roots of the Middle East mess, world communism, the mess with which the colonial system ended, WWII itself, and many other problems of the modern world have their roots directly or indirectly in the untidy conclusion of WWI.

Basically, I think the wrong side won. Kaiser Bill was no worse than the Imperial Brits, or the Belgians and French with their horror shows in the Congo basin, and measurably better than the Czar. Germany was rising, the Brits, French, Italians and Russians couldn't stop her, and we unwisely intervened to give the Allies a victory. So round two, WWI, was 20 years later. Again, Germany could not beat everybody at once. The European Union is France's idea, a way to let Germany dominate the continent (on the third try) that was acceptable to the rest of the Europeans. And Germany has ruled the roost for several decades, now, but in a subtle and understated manner. But ruled they have. We could have saved a lot of lives and treasure for everyone by just staying home in 1917-18.
