In questo episodio ci concentriamo su come il conflitto sia stato percepito e vissuto dalle opinioni pubbliche dell'Impero Britannico. Attraverso una prospettiva britannica, indiana, africana, australiana, neozelandese, canadese, e caraibica cercheremo di comprendere come i governi abbiano costruito il loro consenso alla guerra e come l'impero più grande della storia abbia risposto alla chiamata.
