The First World War (1914–1918) was a global conflict primarily centered in Europe, involving major world powers. It began on July 28, 1914, after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary. The war was fought between the Allied Powers (France, Britain, Russia, later joined by the U.S. and others) and the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria).
It was marked by trench warfare, massive casualties, and the use of new military technology like tanks, machine guns, and chemical weapons. The war ended on November 11, 1918, with Germany’s surrender, leading to the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, which imposed heavy penalties on Germany. The war caused the collapse of empires, redrew borders, and set the stage for World War II.
