100 years on, how does WW1 affect life today around the globe? From Sarajevo to Washington DC, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ World Service and the British Council have explored its legacy, with experts and audiences around the world. The War that Changed the World has discussed revolution in Russia, nationalism in Sarajevo, the morality of war in Dresden, the psychology of war in London, nation-forming in Istanbul, Imperialism in India, heroism in Paris, race and colonial war in East Africa, the legend of Anzac in Australia; the redrawing of the Middle East map in Jordan and foreign policy in the USA. A writer, artist, politician or cultural figure from each of these countries has given their point of view with a specially written essay on the impact of the war on their country. In this special programme presented by Razia Iqbal, history and politics - the past and the present - are drawn together to give a international perspective on the legacy of the world’s first truly global war.
