read all about it: The Great War!
August 4, 1914 - November 11, 1918
After a series of treaties many countries came together. Thus when one country say Germany had been blamed to attack Belgium. Belgium's allies helped to support them in war. As Germany was out trooped they had other allies to pitch in and so the war started.
The War actually started by a assassination, the assassination of Archduke Francis Ferdinand. The next in line for the Austria-Hungarian throne. Germany made an agreement to help attack Serbia with full support and Austria agreed. War started spilling between countries by large.
Troops from most all European countries fought in a battle field filled with territory, dead, trenches and no mans lands. The riffles became more equipped by creation of bayonets. Air strikes and trench warfare would advance, but kill millions. Nationalists brought moral for their armys in the battlefield. The machine gun was created and needed 2 or 3 people to run it, but run it they did. The piles of trenches would lead to one being took over and a over a hundred more to go. It lasted for around 4 years and 3 months.
Victory for allied nations over the central powers. After taking the fight over seas and destroying trade they cut off the central powers feets letting them fall. Germany started making flaws in the war and became unstrengthened. 10 million dead, 30 million wounded you do the math.
