World War 1 (jul 28, 1914 – nov 11, 1918)

Description:

World War I, also known as the Great War, began in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. His murder catapulted into a war across Europe that lasted until 1918. Germany is to blame for starting World War I because they were the first country to declare war before any other country. So overall Germany did not only start the war but they also influenced another country that was apart of their alliance (Austria-Hungary) to fight with another country (Serbia). Who won World War I? After four years of combat and the deaths of some 8.5 million soldiers as a result of battle wounds or disease, the Allies were victorious.
