The title refers of course to the first world war. This would have been clearer in 1937 since at the time there had only been one. The series follows the history of the first world war from the assassination of Arch-Duke Franz-Ferdinand in Sarajevo in June 1914 to the cease fire in November 1918. The titles on the reverse of the cards are followed by the date in brackets of the event depicted.

The backs of three cards were changed, apparently for political reasons, although the corresponding fronts are the same.
