Description
S1.E1 "The Summer of Sarajevo"
We see a complacent, confident Europe in 1914 shaken by the assassination of Austria's Archduke Ferdinand, an event seized by German and Austrian leaders as a motive for unleashing the war they had plotted for years. We see their reprisals against Serbia; the crowned heads of Europe mobilizing their armies; and people in Britain and France marching jauntily off to war. In Germany, there was cheering and waving as the Kaiser told his people they would "go to war with God on their side."
First aired on Tuesday, Sep 22nd 1964.
An amazing American documentary TV series aired to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the start of the war. Using archival footage from various national and private archives, some of which were at that point being seen by the public for the first time. Instead of sound effects, an original music score was composed by Morton Gould, and performed by the CBS Symphony Orchestra.
World War One premiered in 1964 on Tuesday nights at 8 pm Eastern Time. Mid-season it was moved to Sunday nights at 6:30 pm.
