Historical Context
World War One
A Brief History
World War I, also known as the Great War, lasted from 1914 to 1918. The war was triggered by a complex web of alliances, nationalism, militarism, and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary.
The war involved two main alliances: the Allies (including Britain, France, Russia, and the United States) and the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire)
Much of the fighting took place in trenches, especially on the Western Front in France and Belgium, leading to a prolonged stalemate and horrific living conditions for soldiers. The war also saw the introduction of modern warfare technologies, including machine guns, tanks, airplanes, and chemical weapons like poison gas.
World War I resulted in unprecedented casualties, with millions of soldiers and civilians killed or wounded. The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, which imposed harsh penalties on Germany and set the stage for future conflicts, including World War II.
