WORLD WAR 1

World War I, also known as the Great War, was a global conflict that took place from 1914 to 1918. It was one of the deadliest and most transformative events of the 20th century. Triggered by a complex web of political tensions and alliances, the war involved major world powers and led to the collapse of empires, widespread destruction, and the loss of millions of lives. It had far-reaching consequences, including the redrawing of borders, the emergence of new nations, and the groundwork for future conflicts, most notably World War II. The Treaty of Versailles formally ended the war but also sowed the seeds of future instability. World War I fundamentally reshaped the course of modern history.
