I toyed with the idea of continuing my BS in Wildlife Management and getting a Masters at the University of Alberta under Dr. Geist in the mid 80's, I wish now that I had acted upon that idea. Excellent article, as are any by Geist.

I'd much rather deal with a brown bear than a pack of wolves.

Nothing has ever woken me faster than the close howl of wolves in a tent.

I heard/read that the wolves in Europe had a significant impact on both sides in WW1.

I can’t remember the specifics but it would line up with that you mentioned.

There's a quick little write up on Meateater about this very topic. It seems that (displaced) wolves became opportunistic and were scavenging dead and in some cases killing severely wounded soldiers: https://www.themeateater.com/hunt/wolf/fact-checker-was-there-a-ceasefire-during-wwi-to-hunt-wolves

What's the wolf's name?

“Aspen” because she will heal the land and bring more aspens

Very much so. I can shoot 1 bear. My rifle doesn't hold enough rounds to deal with a pack of wolves.
