World War I Causes, Battles, and Lasting Effects
The First World War, also known as the Great War, was a major conflict that lasted from 1914 to 1918 and involved many of the world's great powers. It was primarily fought in Europe but had repercussions across the globe. World War I introduced deadly new weapons such as tanks, machine guns, and poison gas, leading to mass casualties. Key battles like the Somme and Verdun demonstrated the brutality of trench warfare. The war’s aftermath saw the collapse of empires and redrawn borders, shaping modern international relations. Its lessons remain relevant in understanding global conflicts today.
