Question

When did WW1 start

Answer 1

When WWI Started and Ended
Simply put, World War One began in the year 1914 and ended in 1918.

The initial catalyst was in June 1914: the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, Serbia. The Austro-Hungarian empire wanted to extradite the killer, but Serbia refused.

Once the spark of the Archduke's assassination had lit the fuse, war became virtually inevitable due to the alliance system that the major powers had set up –- they literally tumbled into war.

Austria mobilized, Serbia mobilized, in response to Austrian mobilization against Serbia, Russia mobilized, in response to Russian mobilization against Austria, Germany mobilized and in response to German mobilization both Britain and France mobilized.

In the summer of 1914 the war began to rage in both the east and the west. It would not end until November 1918.

Here are some key dates:


28 July 1914: Austria declared war on Serbia.

1 August 1914: Germany declared war on Russsia.

3 August 1914: Germany declared war on France. WWI had begun.

4 August 1914: Britain declares was on Germany.

11 November 1918: It ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.

Answer 3

WW1 Started
June 28, 1914
Commonly Believed Cause of WW1

Strong feelings of nationalism throughout Europe prior to The Great War created an atmosphere in Europe which made war a likelihood. The spark which ignited the flame and transformed these underlying problems into a frenzy of hostilities happened on June 28, 1914, when Archduke Francis Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated by a Serbian student, Gavrilo Princip, while visiting Sarajevo, Bosnia. Many historians consider this to be the spark that started WW1.
Austro-Hungary presented an ultimatum of thirty demands to Serbia and 48 hours were allotted for their answering. Serbia agreed to all but one: Austrian investigation of the assassination plot.
As a result, Austro-Hungary declared war on Serbia, Germany declared war on Russia (who had allied with Serbia). Two days later, Germany declared war on France and swept its armies through Belgium, violating its neutrality. Because of this, Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland) declared war on Germany. Austro-Hungary declared war on England. And thus started WWI.

The Real Cause of WW1

According to Albert Pike, the First World War was designed to enable the Czarist Government in Russia to be finally and completely overthrown and replaced with a new atheist, Communist government.

History records that this First World War did indeed occur as predicted. The Western powers in Europe, in conjunction with the United States, financed Lenin's expedition into Russia, and financed his government consistently. The US has financed Russian Communism at least once per decade since then.

A little closer to home:
In 1909, the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace was tasked to answer the following question posed by the US government: "If it is desirable to alter the lives of an entire nation, is there any means more efficient than war?" After a year of research, the answer came back: "There are no known means more efficient than war, assuming the objective is altering the life of an entire nation."
And for what reason would anyone want to alter the lives of an entire nation?
Historian Walter Mills wrote the following about the purpose of the war and about Colonel House's basic intent: "The Colonel's sole justification for preparing such a batch of blood for his countrymen was his hope of establishing a new world order, [a world government] of peace and security...."

1914

Answer 5

The first World War stared on the 1914 and lasted till the 1918.
This war started because England and France discovered Africa and they knew that it had a lot of raw material and good colonies. Than the conflicts began when Germany got to know about it and wanted the raw materials for its self.
In the 1900's, the countries knew that a war was coming and they joined one another. The countries were Germany, Austria and Italia which were against France, England and Russia.
When the war was about to start France and England told Italia to join them and if they win (which they did) they will give Italia good colonies because even Italia wanted the colonies, and at last Italia accepted and joined them, But at the end France and England didn't give Italia good colonies, they just gave Italia some of them.
We cannot forget when America joined France and England to win the war.
