>how did men have the nerve to withstand so much death?
They didn't, that's literally why WWII happened, it drove them insane

The typical soldier in WW1 did not have an iphone or internet so I'm not sure how you expect them to have omniscient awareness of the status of the entire war and as-yet unpublished casualty numbers that at the time would've been extremely vague guesses with absolutely no way to verify them. Some of these battles lasted for months, on a front that stretched for miles with many isolated groups of men pinned down in trenches. How could you possible get an accurate count on such a battlefield of who has died since the battle started? It's not possible. Forget about somehow disseminating this information to everyone, just obtaining the information is a challenge.

France's death toll was 1.7 million in WW1. The highest were Russia and Turkey, each with a death toll of around 3 million. Around 2.5 million Germans died.
2 million Persians also died despite them being a neutral country

The entire First World War is just a battle in China

About 1/2 the French front line troops were African, so about 500 frenchmen were dieing every day. A sad statistic but demographicly recoverable for a population of 50 million

Hence Iranian can’t trust neocolonial powers like I*rael
