| Summary | "The Children's Story of the War, Volume 1 (of 10)" by Sir Edward Parrott is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. This work recounts the events and turmoil surrounding World War I, aimed at a younger audience. The book focuses on the root causes of the war, emphasizing the various nations involved, the unraveling peace, and the events leading up to the declaration of war. At the start of the narrative, the blissful life in Messina is shattered by a catastrophic earthquake, symbolizing the sudden outbreak of the Great War. The text shifts to reflect on the tranquility of a Sunday afternoon in July 1914 before introducing the tensions surrounding Austria and Serbia, two nations whose conflict ignited the flames of war. The early chapters delve into national ambitions and rivalries, providing a foundational understanding of the complex relationships among the Great Powers, setting the stage for the unfolding global conflict.
