World War I or "The War to End All Wars" provides myriad topics for research. In addition to the library's databases, here are additional websites that may be useful to generate possible topic ideas or begin to research your chosen topic. (In compiling this list, I focused mainly on .edu and .org sites, as we previously discussed, because we deemed them the most trustworthy.)
