This year marks the 100th anniversary of the end of World War. I Originating from the fallout from the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo, the crisis grew from a minor act of terror in the Balkans to a globe-spanning war that would shape everything to come in the still-young 20th century. When the war came to an end, tens of millions of people, both soldiers and civilians, lay dead. To commemorate the war and remember the fallen, the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission, in partnership with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History and the National World War I Museum and Memorial, have set up a touring exhibit entitled Fields of Battle, Lands of Peace: The Doughboys 1917-1918. The exhibit’s first stop on its multi-city tour is at Worth Square 
in the Flatiron District, just blocks away from the New York City Seminar and Conference Center. The exhibit tells the story of the war on large pillars through both writing and stunning photographs. It focuses mostly on American involvement in the war and follows the U.S. army through a number of fronts such as northern Italy and Meuse-Argonne. The exhibit is free to the public and will be at Worth Square until August 12th.
