World War I, also known as WWI (abbreviation), the First World War, the Great War, and "The War to End All Wars", was a global military conflict that took place mostly in Europe between 1914 and 1918. It was a war between the allies (Russia, France, British Empire, Italy, United States, Japan, Rumania, Serbia, Belgium, Greece, Portugal, Montenegro) and the central powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, Bulgaria) from 1914 to 1918. It left millions dead and re-shaped the modern world.
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 and Yugoslavia were created, and in the cases of Lithuania and Poland, recreated.
What it proved is that global military conflict has and can again occur, that global powers has and can again challange the allies world alliance, and that global military conflicts do destroy and recreate empires, the results of which can cause concern regarding maintaining the world's balance of powers.

Millitary Alliances are bad. Same with Nationalism. On top of that, it also showed the Terrorism can start big wars. And that lending money to both sides makes depressions.

That alliance systems can cause a regional conflict to spiral out of control. And that weapons technology had made military tactics woefully outdated.

The only benefit I see in wars is the amount of advancement we make in technology eg: planes, cars etc.

"the great war" or "the war to end all wars" was not horrifying enough and the tremendous loss of life was not huge enough to make us understand that man was created for far greater things than killing each other.

Modern warfare sucks... and everyone is at risk - not just the frontline soldiers - but the civilians back home.
