In 1915, World War I stopped being a short European conflict — and became a global catastrophe.
Poison gas drifted across the trenches of Ypres.
Thousands died on the beaches of Gallipoli.
Russia collapsed into the Great Retreat.
Serbia was overrun.
The Lusitania sank beneath the Atlantic.
And the war spread from Europe to the Middle East.
This is the complete story of the year the Great War expanded — militarily, geographically, and morally.
From the Second Battle of Ypres and the first large-scale gas attacks…
To the brutal mountain warfare of the Italian Front…
To the Armenian Genocide…
To submarine warfare and the tightening naval blockade…
1915 reshaped the First World War forever.
By the end of this year, the illusion of a short war was gone.
In its place stood industrial slaughter, total war, and a world descending deeper into darkness.
This is 1915 — the year World War I exploded.
