C-SPAN3’s programming this weekend includes three World War I presentations, two which are repeating and one talk airing for the first time.

Next is the new talk to air, “World War I Newspapers’ Effects on Soldier Morale.”  This talk is delivered by Robert Nelson and looks at British, French, and German newspapers in 1916.  This talk was originally given at the National World War I Museum and Memorial in early November.  It airs on Saturday, February 4th at 6:00 p.m. CT.

Last is the repeat of “Peace Coalition Against U.S. Entry into World War I,” delivered by Michael Kazin and also given at the National World War I Museum and Memorial in early November.  It airs on Sunday, February 5th at 9:45 a.m. CT.
