Build up to The First World War - 1914

March 1914

Anglo- French discussions regarding war are thought to have begun in March 1914. In America the US Army is partially mobilised and stationed along the Mexican border due to the on-going civil war there.

American troops were mobilsed as a result of the Mexican Civil War, in which Carrano played a major role.

NOTE: Please remember that war did not break out across Europe until August of 1914. The months prior to the outbreak of war are included to illustrate the build up to the conflict: and as such contain much less interactivity.
