Map of the First World War

An atlas of the First World War, day by day — fronts, battles and bombings sourced from THOR, Wikidata and OpenStreetMap.

The Great War rendered day by day: move along the timeline and watch the fronts shift, the battles open and close, and the bombing runs fall, each event placed in space and pinned to its date.

It draws on the THOR bombing dataset, Wikidata for the events and actors, and OpenStreetMap for the underlying geography. It is the elder of the two war atlases — see also Map of the Second World War.
