Preface: Costs

World War II has tended to obscure the tremendous costs of World War I, known until 1939 as the Great War (indeed, it was), and the prewar continental Europe that existed before it never returned as a result.

An American postwar report on the vast struggle noted that the total lives lost by the Allies, or Entente Powersas their enemies called themwas estimated at 6,422,738.

For their Central Power foes, the death toll was 5 million. In all, 63,714,738 combatants served in all armies of both sides.

The total expenditure of monies by the Allies was $200 billion, while for the Central Powers, the toll was $110 billion. Just prior to the war, in the summer of 1914, a British banker had announced confidently that any such European war would have to conclude by the end of that year, because all the nations would go bankrupt; in the event, they simply borrowed more money.

The following biographical accountanother in our series of fresh looks at the men and battles during the Great Wars former centennial of 201418presents the German emperors field marshals and generals during the fighting; the revolution and civil war that resulted from it; and the republic and fascist dictatorship that evolved out of those, in most of which the very same men played major parts until their deathssome as late as 1955.

In this expanded aspect, it is a largely untold story in such a comprehensive fashion as this, until now, a century later.
