World War I, also known as the Great War, began on July 28, 1914, when Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia in response to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The conflict quickly escalated as other countries became involved due to a complex web of alliances.
The war was fought on multiple fronts, including the Western Front in France and Belgium, the Eastern Front in Eastern Europe, and the Italian Front in Italy. The war was characterized by trench warfare, with soldiers on both sides enduring harsh conditions and heavy casualties.
Over the course of the war, new technologies such as tanks, airplanes, and chemical weapons were introduced, changing the nature of warfare. The war also saw the involvement of colonial troops from around the world, as well as the first widespread use of propaganda to rally support for the war effort.
The United States entered the war in 1917, tipping the balance in favor of the Allies. The war finally came to an end on November 11, 1918, when Germany signed an armistice agreement with the Allies. The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, officially ended the war and imposed harsh penalties on Germany, setting the stage for the rise of Adolf Hitler and World War II.
