Article is long enough and new enough; no sourcing, copyright, or content issues were found. Both hooks have good sources and meet length and format criterion. I think the ALT1 hook is more interesting than the original hook. I changed the “WWI” acronym in ALT1 to “World War I” for clarification. QPQ review was done.
