"The Great War" was fought from 1914 to 1919. But when another major conflict happened from 1939 to 1945, the two events became known as the First World War and the Second World War. What's worse than having another world war only 20 years after the first one? How about 30 years of continuous war?  Today, Josh, along with special guest star, Andrew Phillips from the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library and museum, break down the relevant locations, and story, of how the first massive global conflict ultimately became the second… the most devastating global conflict in history.
