Jang-i jahānī-i avval bih zabān-i sādah

Jang-i jahānī-i avval bih zabān-i sādah, compiled by Īmān Ghulāmīyān and Abū al-Faz̤l Pīryāʼī and edited by Asadallāh Ghulāmīyān, introduces the origins, course and consequences of the First World War. It traces European rivalries, the formation of alliances and successive diplomatic crises before turning to the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and the outbreak of hostilities. The account follows the main fronts and participating powers, including the Ottoman Empire, Russia and the United States, and considers trench warfare, chemical weapons and wartime technology. Sections on Īrān, railways and correspondence broaden its account of the conflict. Peace settlements, war crimes and the emerging international order are considered alongside the political effects of the war in Europe. A chronology, illustrations, maps and a concluding bibliography support this accessible overview of the connections between diplomacy, military developments and the wider repercussions of war.
