when and where did world war one begin?

Answer 1

World War I (WWI, the First World War), also known as the Great War and "The War to End All Wars", and "The Trench War", was a global military conflict that took place primarily in Europe between 1914 and November 1918 but officially ended with the Treaty of Versailles in June 1919. It left millions dead and re-shaped the modern world.

The war was fought between the Allied Powers (France, the Russian Empire, the British Empire, and later Italy and the United States) and the Central Powers (Austria-Hungary, the German Empire, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire). The Allies would prove victorious over the Central Powers, but resentment over the defeat and the controversial Versailles treaty, particularly in Germany, would become a major factor contributing to World War II.

Much of the fighting in World War I took place along the Western Front, within a system of opposing manned trenches and fortifications (separated by an unoccupied space between the trenches called "no man's land") running from the North Sea to the border of Switzerland. On the Eastern Front, the vast eastern plains and limited rail network prevented a trench warfare stalemate from developing, although the scale of the conflict was just as large. Hostilities also occurred on and under the sea and — for the first time — from the air. More than nine million soldiers died on the various battlefields, and millions more civilians perished.

The war caused the disintegration of four empires: the Austro-Hungarian, German, Ottoman, and Russian. Germany lost its overseas empire, and new states such as Czechoslovakia, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Hungary and Yugoslavia were created, or in the cases of Lithuania and Poland, recreated.

World War I created a decisive break with the old world order that had emerged after the Napoleonic Wars, which was modified by the mid-19th century’s nationalistic revolutions. The outcome of World War I was a major cause of World War II twenty-one years later.
