11 November 1918. The Great War is finally over. A new era is about to start. Amidst the grief, disappointment and old fears, new dreams and hopes are now emerging, but so too are new hatreds.

Clash of Futures explores the dramatic era of the 1920s and 30s following the fates of extraordinary men and women using their own diary entries, letters and memoirs. These are people drawn into the war by their convictions. Their loves and decisions bring the history of Europe, with all its contradictions, to life.

Summer 1918. The First World War has been raging for four years. The fronts have long since become deadlocked; hundreds of thousands have died in the brutal trench warfare. But since the entry of the Americans into the war in 1917, Germany is defeated and the armistice comes into effect.

11 Samhain, 1918. Tha An Cogadh M貌r seachad mu dheireadh thall. Toiseach linn 霉r. Am measg caoidh, briseadh-d霉il agus seann eagail, tha bruadair is d貌chas a' nochdadh 脿s 霉r, ach tha agus fuathan 霉ra cuideachd.

Tha "Eadar Na Dh脿" a' toirt s霉il air na ficheadan 's na tritheadan, a' leantainn sgeulachdan fir is mnathan s貌nraichte tro na leabhraichean-latha, litrichean is aithrisean aca fh猫in. Tharraing na beachdan aca an fheadhainn seo dhan chogadh agus tha sgeulachd nan co-dh霉naidhean is nan gr脿dhan aca a' toirt sealladh air eachdraidh thoinnte na h-E貌rpa.

Samhradh 1918. Thathar air a bhith a' sabaid sa Chiad Chogadh Saoghail fad ceithir bliadhna. 'S fhada bho dh'fh脿s aghaidhean a' bhl脿ir glaiste; bh脿saich na ceudan mh矛ltean sa chogadh trainnse br霉ideil. Ach bho th脿inig na h-Ameireaganaich dhan chogadh ann an 1917, fhuair an Caidreabh l脿mh an uachdair. Tha Arm-staid a' t貌iseachadh air an 11mh dhen t-Samhain.
