World+War+1

World War One was fought allmost entirely in Europe, between the Allies and the Central Powers. Considered the second bloodiest conflict recorded in history, it all started with the assassination of the Austrtian Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914. The Central Powers were Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. The Allies were made up of Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, and Japan, and, in 1917, the United States. At the time, the conflict was known as the Great War, or the War to end all wars. World War one was the advent of trench warfare, along with new technologies such as machine guns, tanks, and chemical weapons. This was a long and grueling war with many troops dying of disease in filthy trenches, as well as being shot or killed. Finally, in 1918, the Central Powers were defeated, and the next year, the Treaty of Versailles was signed, effectively ending the war.
