The optimism that fueled the early years of the 20th century vanished as America was drawn into "The War to End All Wars." This ABC News program anchored by Peter Jennings presents the grim story of World War I—including the Bolshevik revolution, which led to Russia’s withdrawal from the conflict—and the fruitless struggles of President Wilson, who sought first to keep America out of the war and then, at its end, to forge a lasting and meaningful peace. (42 minutes)
