Line 226:
* [[Tank Goodness]]: The first in history.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Many heart-warming poems and gut-wrenching stories were written, but perhaps the greatest tearjerker of the entire conflict is the reality of millions of men, no matter their nationality, going into battle perfectly aware they were going to die. To make it even more tragic, the war itself resulted in little more than setting up an ''even worse'' world war.
* [[Unskilled but Strong]]: Many new technologies of the war didn't have developed tactics beyond straight-fowardforward attacking until late war, but were still amazingly effective with unsubtle, direct use. Tank tactics in particular were underdeveloped, but that did little to stop their effectiveness.
* [[Ur Example]]: Some historians credit the [[Seven Years War]] from 1756 to 1763 as the real first World War, because of its global nature. World War I may then just be the [[Trope Codifier]].
* [[War Is Hell]]: This war was so horrible that everyone involved decided to never engage in war again.
