The First World War — an animated map on Mundu

The Western Front does not move — that is its meaning. Watch it lock solid in November 1914 while the East swings by hundreds of kilometres, and then break open in 1918. Events and dates from Wikidata and Wikipedia; the size of a marker is how many languages of Wikipedia write about it, not a death toll — casualty figures do not exist as data for most of these actions. The blocs are drawn, and their shared edge is the front.
