I'm very interested in WW1, I enjoy how much of a clusterfuck of pretty much everyone being in the wrong it was as well as what it led to for society.
The problem however is that I'm a filthy brit and only ever got the information for the war about the European side of the war, and only the British side at that, then we just sort of lamented about how terrible it was for 4 months and read poetry.
My question is: what would you all recommend would be a good place to start finding out info about it, different viewpoints of the war (Russia, Greece, whatever Spain was doing), what other area's were involved in war besides Europe and what sort of things it led to for each country involved.

Read Gary Sheffield's "Forgotten Victory."
Then look at the bibliography and mine it.

David Stevenson's 1914 -1918 - History of the First World War is pretty awesome and very complete

revisionism. there weren't a lot of countries who were in the right per say, but there definitely were those who were more in the wrong than others.
anyways, for a good read on how europe fell into it, read pic related. an extremely dense read though, you'll need to have read at least 2 or 3 other books on the subject and have a pretty good grip on late 19th century and early 20th century history and politics. author assumes you know a lot.

Dan Carlin's Blueprint for Armageddon podcast is essential and best if you can't commit to reading.
Despite his ardent (and stupid) boner for republicanism he is an excellent storyteller and he is at least not too-proud to admit when an artisto or royal does an objective good job (despite his insistence that their presence is a drain to world society as a whole).
Please forgive me if that seems like I'm focusing on the wrong thing, I'm a bitter monarchist

The Great War channel on YouTube is the best source.

This is good if you want a summary on what happened every week. Its not too basic and not too overwhelming. Not only that, every single source Indy uses are stated in each episode. Highly recommend.
