Word Ward I

World War I marked the first major international conflict in the twentieth century. The Habsburg assassination Archduke Franz Ferdinand became the originator of this war, which began in August 1914, and continued with several other battles over the next four years. During World War I, Entente Powers - Britain, France, Serbia and the Russian Empire (later Italy, Greece, Portugal, Romania and the United States joined in) - fought against Central Powers - Germany and Austria-Hungary (later Turkey and Bulgaria joining) .Initial enthusiasm soon Faded as the war was trapped into a stagnant war involving costly battles and trench warfare. The Western Front's trench and fortress system expanded to the longest line of 475 miles. The Eastern Front's extent blocked large-scale battles, but the scale of the conflict was as great as the Western Front. Great fighting also occurred in Northern Italy, in the Balkans, And in Ottoman Turkey. The battle takes place at sea and, fme the first time, takes place in the air.
World War I was one of the most destructive battles in modern history. Nearly ten million soldiers were killed, a far greater number than the number of military casualties killed from all wars in the previous hundred years. It estimated 21 million people were wounded in battle. This large part is due to the start of the use of new weapons, such as machine guns and gas warfare. On July 1, 1916, the highest number of casualties in a day, more than 57,000 British soldiers in the Somme died. The number of military casualties in most The Germans and Russians: each estimated at 1,773,700 and 1,700,000. France lost sixteen percent of the troops it deployed. Experts estimate that as many as 13,000,000 non-combatants died as a direct or indirect result of warfare. Deaths Rose sharply at the end of the war with the advent of the "Spanish flu outbreak" epidemic The most deadly influenza in history. Millions of people are expelled or displaced from their homes. The loss of property and industry is enormous, especially in France and Belgium, where the greatest battle is happening.
At 11:00 am on November 11, 1918, the battle was halted on the Western Front. The "Great War," a term used by the people of the time, has ended, but the impact of conflict extends far beyond the international, political, economic, And social can still be felt for the next few decades.
