The World's War: Forgotten Soldiers of Empire
AudienceAudience: 7.3
British historian David Olusoga, along with other historians, narrates the story of millions of Indian, African and Asian troops who fought and died alongside French and British troops to help win the war against Germany, Austro-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire.
My takeA sweeping historical documentary that illuminates the untold stories of colonial soldiers who fought in World War I, stretching far beyond European battlefields to Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Arlo would appreciate how this series gives voice to the forgotten millions whose sacrifices shaped the modern world but rarely made it into history books.
