when the 1 world war was started?

Answer 1

It's somewhat complicated.

After the assassination of Archduke Franz-Ferdinand by a Serbian on June 28 1914, there was a round of not-so-serious diplomacy between Austria-Hungary and Serbia. It failed, so
Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia on July 28, 1914. Russia immediately announced mobilization in defense of Serbia, because of a treaty commitment.

Germany then declared war on Russia on August 1, 1914, because of a treaty commitment to Austria-Hungary.

And the list goes on - because of various defense treaties among several nations, Britain, France, Japan, and others got into the war.

The United States and Italy declared themselves neutral, although both eventually entered the war on the allied side against Germany.

So, the first declaration of war was on July 28th. Germany entered on August 1st. Most of the countries were in declared war by August 4th. Pick a date.

Answer 2

World War I, also known as the Great War and "The War To End All Wars," was a global military conflict which took place primarily in Europe between 1914 and 1918. More than nine million soldiers and civilians died. The conflict had a decisive impact on the history of the 20th century.

The Allied Powers, led by France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and, from 1917, the United States, defeated the Central Powers, led by Austria-Hungary, Germany and the Ottoman Empire. Italy joined the Allies in 1915.

The fighting that took place along the Western Front occurred along a system of trenches and fortifications separated by an area known as no man's land. These series of fortifications ran from the North Sea to Switzerland. This system of static trench warfare defined the war for many. On the Eastern Front, the vast eastern plains and limited rail network prevented a trench warfare stalemate. But the scale of the conflict was just as large. The Middle East and the Italian Front saw heavy fighting as well. Hostilities also occurred at sea and, for the first time, in the air.

The war caused the disintegration of four empires: the Austro-Hungarian, German, Ottoman and Russian. Germany lost its overseas empire and states such as Czechoslovakia, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Yugoslavia gained independence. The cost of waging the war set the stage for the breakup of the British Empire as well.

World War I marked the end of the old world order, which had emerged after the Napoleonic Wars. The result of the conflict was an important factor in the outbreak of World War II.
