jun 28, 1914 - WWI Begins
Description:
"The War to End All Wars"
The power of the German Empire leads the European nations to form alliances. France, Great Britain, and Imperial Russia become allies on one hand, and Germany and Austria-Hungary on the other.
When the heir to the Austrian- Hungarian throne is assassinated in Serbia, his country threatens Serbia and is in turn threatened by Russia. Germany has to help Austria-Hungary, but knows that she will be attacked by Russia’s ally, France.
Germany therefore attacks France first.
Great Britain declares war on Germany, and Russia goes to war against Austria-Hungary and Germany. Most battles take place in Europe, although soldiers come from Canada, Africa, Australia, India, and New Zealand to fight.
