World War I

world war I was sparked by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914. The Austria-Hungarian goverment accused Serbia of having something to do with the assassination. An ultimatum was presented by the Austrian government to Belgrade on Thursday 23 July 1914 at 6 p.m. A response was demanded within two days, by Saturday 25 July at 6 p.m. Austria-Hungary's expectation was that Serbia would reject the remarkably severe terms of the ultimatum, thereby giving her a pretext for launching a limited war against Serbia.
There were differnt alliances made early in 1914. It was The Triple Entente; Great Britian, France and Russia against the Triple Alliance which was Germany, Austria-Hungray and Italy.
Germany surrendered in 1918 and in January 1919 The Treaty Of Versallies was made to decide the fate of the defeated nations. The majority of the decisions was made by the 'Big Three'- France, USA and Britain.

The Great War went on from 1914-1919. The estimated number of people killed in the war was 17,000,000 people. The heaviest Casualties were;
Allied powers:
Russia- 2,500,000
France- 1,357,000
Serbia- 1,264,000
Britain- 908,000
Central Powers:
Germany- 1,773,000
Austria-Hungary- 1,200,000
Turkey- 325,000

And you know I’m serious because I said The World and not ZAWARUDO

“And you know I’m serious because I said The World and not ZAWARUDO” is a phrase commonly used by Lord Nuxanor after making a serious statement with the words “The World” in the statement as apposed to the usual use of the world which is correctly pronounced as ZAWARUDO while flexing epically on all the normies because you gotta stay cool fam.

“We must end poverty across The World, And you know I’m serious because I said The World and not ZAWARUDO”

World War I

Italy also later joined the Allies, and the Ottoman Empire became one of the Central Powers.

As a result, at the end of the war Italy won control of the Adriatic port city of Trieste from Austria.

World War I

The only war where you, an Indian, go to fight the Germans in France, under British command, next to Moroccans and Americans. Its all because one dumbass shot another slightly less dumb dumbass and every other dumbass in Europe went apeshit, and killed more dumbasses.

"World War I is so cool! I wish we could have a field trip."

"They didn't have fields, because those dumbasses thought the other dumbest couldn't move without trees to obscure their dumbass infantry".

World War I

A war that many historians believe was won thanks to Canada.

Canada - Hey Britain, how come we werent included in the triple entente? We could have made a "quadruple entente", thats so much cooler.
Britain - Its simple, we dont like you.

World War I

A war lasting from 1914 to 1918 between two groups of allied countries, the Allied and the Central Powers.

Important Allied Powers:
The British Empire
France
Russia (Until 1917)
United States (After 1917)

Important Central Powers:
Germany
Austria
The Ottoman Empire

This unfortunate conflict led to the deaths of millions of men on each side, nearly an entire generation wiped out. Entire classes of schoolboys signed up and died together.

The fighting parties at that time - Spring 1917 - were ready for peace when America entered. The 1916 disasters of Jutland, Verdun and Somme had taken most, if not all, of the fighting spirit out of Germany, Britain and France. There had been already several peace-proposals from German and Austrian sides and there were attempts at mediation going on by neutral Danish, Swedish and even American negotiators. Peace at that moment would have saved over one million British, French, American, and other lives. But because the United States suddenly wanted their share of the war all peace-talk became useless.
