| Summary |
In the fourth year of the Great War, the growing military, political, social and economic costs hit all existing belligerents while as yet uncommitted states joined the global conflict. For states as yet uncommitted to war, such as the US and China, 1917 was a year of decision. This title illustrates the crucial significance of this pivotal year. |
