Why the First World War DID NOT end in 1918

What happened after World War One? What were the consequences of the First World War?

When the First World War ended, Europe did not return to peace. In fact, by some estimates, the 5 years following 1918 were deadlier than the 4 years of war preceding it.

In this week's episode of IWM Stories, Assistant Curator Geoffrey Spender takes a closer look at three of these conflicts: The Irish War of Independence, The Russian Revolution and The Greco-Turkish War.
