ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF RESISTANCE TO THE ARMS TRADE
1914: The Western world is descending into the bloodiest war it has ever witnessed. Amid the waste of life, of money and the wastelands of Europe, arms manufacturers thrived. What did people do to stop it? What means of protest did they have? And what are people doing now, 100 years later, to stop the arms trade?
