hightable notesThough not as widely discussed as its more catastrophic successor, the First World War still holds a sense of relevance and depth I think is worthy of its own study.On the surface, it seems like the 1914 assassination simply caused European powers to retaliate against each other. But at its core the story of WW1 from its origins to its legacy reveals so much depth and mess that we still keep learning something new from it. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/history" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/histodons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#histodons</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/firstWorldWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#firstWorldWar</a> 1/3

Resolviendo la incógnita 🌐El 1 de julio de 1916, a las 7:28, al comienzo de la batalla del Somme, los británicos explotaron la mina de Lochnagar, que se excavaron bajo las líneas alemanas, produciendo un cráter de 21 metros de profundidad y 100 metros de diámetro. El borde del cráter ascendió unos 5 metros de altura, sirviendo como barrera a las tropas. Se logró gracias a 27 toneladas de amonal en dos cámaras a 18 metros de distancia. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/primeraguerramundial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#primeraguerramundial</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/firstworldwar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#firstworldwar</a>
