Science Goes to War: Warfare and the Industrialization of Acoustics

World War I broke out on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. It brought an end to the bourgeois and aristocratic world order of the Wilhelmine and Edwardian era. Though its main battles were carried out in Europe, World War I was a global war to the extent that it affected most of the world's population, including many people in the colonies of the European imperial powers.
