Unseen pictures of World World One are released in France marking the 90th anniversary of the 1918 armistice that brought an end to four years of fighting.

The First World War, that claimed the lives of an estimated 20 million people, was notable for the combatants use for the first time of modern military technology like long distance artillery, tanks, machine guns, military aircraft, chemical weapons and submarines.

It also completely redrew the map of Europe and brought the curtain down on the Austro-Hungarian empire and the Ottoman empire.
