How important is food to the outcome of war? Scholars investigate the impact of starvation on the home front of European nations during the First World War. They view a short video clip from the 32-part Great War series to analyze the need for food and the impact food shortages had on the length of the war itself. Using their knowledge, they openly discuss how the Turnip Winter of 1916 put the basic daily needs on the front line of World War I.
