 READING:

The BBC has big plans for the centenary of World War I. It plans to make 2,500 hours of new TV and radio shows. We can see them between 2014 and 2018. This mirrors the one hundred years since the war. The head of the BBC said the programmes are, "a chance for us all to learn something new about a war we think we know well". The BBC said it wants people to understand more about the war." It also wants to tell well-known and untold stories.

World War I (WWI) was mostly in Europe. It began on 28 July 1914 and ended on 11 November 1918. It was called the "Great War" until 1939. Over 9 million soldiers were killed. It is the fifth-deadliest war ever. Over 70 million people fought in it. The United States joined the fighting in 1917. After the war, countries changed and new nations were created. There was a lot of unhappiness in some countries and was one of the causes of World War II.
