Photographs of WWI Reveal How Little Europe Has Changed

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Photographer Peter Macdiarmid gathered modern photos from Europe and layered them on top of historic pictures of WWI, to give a sense of how much, or, in same cases, how little, Europe has changed since it was destroyed by devastating WWI.
Here is one of his amazing photographs, to see the rest, follow the link,HERE, or simply click on the image bellow.
European cities weren’t hit too bad by what happened in WW1 as civilians were rarely targeted. Now if you mean WW2 then that’s a different story, where some cities like Dresden and Coventry were almost completely flattened.
I agree with you, WWII was more destructive,mainly due to more powerful weapons that were available. But on the second hand I think the photographer simply wanted to show that some parts of Europe did not change that much, during the course of 100 years.
And images are just examples of buildings destroyed in WWI that changed just a bit if even that much.
