Today, Sunday, 3 August, 2014, is a very special and solemn day of reflection, as today marks exactly 100 years (4 years, 3 months, and 7 days) of the start of the The Great War (in what is now known as World War 1, or WWI, or WW1); it is on this date that most, if not all, of The Great War historians declare this date as the official start of The Great War (despite the date of Monday, 28 July, 2014, also marks 100 years of the official start of The Great War) after the German Empire (modern-day Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany) declared war on the French Third Republic (modern-day France, officially the French Republic).
