World War I

World War I was the first war that nearly all of the countries on the world was involved in, and that racked the world, leaving scars long to be remembered.

Involvement in the Anne of Green Gables Series
As World War I officially started on July 28, 1914, it did not enter the Anne series, until the start of Rilla of Ingleside. This book, spanning from 1914 to 1918 is about Rilla, the daughter of Anne. Known to be a little to 'vain and gigglesome' before World War I begins, Rilla learns to be brave, and yes, serious through these trying four years. But looking back, even though it has been very hard, Rilla decides she would not take back those years—even if she could.
