	Despite its status as a famous [[fort]]ress and prison, by the late 19th century the Tower had lost most of its functions, becoming little more than a tourist attraction. This changed during [[World War I]], when the building was used by the [[British Army]] to train [[soldier]]s and house prisoners of war. Between 1914 and 1915, twelve [[Germany\|German]] spies were executed by {{Wiki\|Execution by firing squad\|firing squad}} at the Tower, marking the first time the building was used for an execution in over 150 years.
