First World War was devastating for Europe. Its effects had been going on for a long time and many people’s life had been changed radically. We have not many colourful photographs of the war. Sometimes it might be hard to understand how the war devastates Europe and people’s life. Here are 30 photographs from the WW1 to understand its devastating effects and take a look at people from the war.
Most photographs by French photographer Paul Castelnau.
