History of World War

WAR - The Great War involves all the great powers of the world, divided into two opposing alliances, the Allies (based on the Three Entente which consists of Great Britain, France and Russia) and the Central Power (centered on the Third Alliance comprising Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy - but, while Austria-Hungary carried out the attack while the alliance was defensive, Italy did not go to war). Both these alliances reorganized (Italy was on the side of the Allies) and expanded as many countries participated in the war.

More than 70 million military troops, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilized in one of the greatest wars in history. More than 9 million soldiers died, mainly due to technological advances that increase the lethality rate of a weapon without considering improvements in protection or mobility.

World War I was the sixth and sixth deadliest conflict in world history, making it the pioneer of many political changes, such as revolutions in several countries involved.

The long-term causes of this war include the imperialist foreign policy of the great powers of Europe, including the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the Russian Empire, the British Empire, the French Republic, and Italy.

Background

The first World War started after Prince Franz Ferdinand of Austro-Hungary (now Austria) and his wife, were murdered in Sarajevo, Bosnia, by a Yugoslav nationalist and member of the Serbian terrorist group Gavrilo Princip June 28, 1914. Bosnia is an area of ​​Austria demanded by Serbia, one of the small states on the Balkan Peninsula, where the killings had been planned before.

The killings led to the Habsburg ultimatum against the Serbian Empire. A number of alliances formed during the previous few decades were shaken, so in a matter of weeks all the great powers were involved in the war. And through their colony, this conflict soon spread throughout the world.

With the help of Germany, Austria-Hungary decides war on Serbia. There has never been a conflict of this magnitude, either from the number of soldiers deployed and involved, or the number of victims.

Chemical weapons were used for the first time, massive civilian air bombings were carried out, and much of the first large-scale massacre of the 19th century took place during this war. The four dynasties, Habsburg, Romanov, Ottoman, and Hohenzollern, which had roots of power until the time of the Crusades, all fell after the war.

Austria-Hungary attacked Serbia on July 28, 1914. Russia made supplies to help Serbia and was attacked by Germany. France also helped Russia and was attacked by Germany. To arrive in Paris as quickly as possible, the Germans invaded Belgium, and then Britain attacked Germany.

Initially, Germany won the battle, but France, Britain, and Russia continued to attack. Germany, Austria-Hungary, and its allies are called "Central Blocks", and the countries opposed to them are called "Allied Blocks".

As the war continues, other countries intervene. Almost all sides with the Allies. In 1915, Italy joined the Allies for wanting to control the land of Austria. And in 1917, the United States entered the war, and sided with the Allies.

Although the Allied Army is very strong, Germany looks like it will win the battle. After 1914, the Germans took control of Luxemburg, almost all of Belgian land, as well as parts of northern France.

Germany also won in the East Barisan, when Russian efforts failed. However, by 1918, the German army was exhausted. The supply is not sufficient and social upheaval arises within his own country.

At the same time, more and more US troops have just arrived and immediately joined the Allies. In the summer of 1918, the United States military helped to block the last German attack in the west. Germany also signed a ceasefire agreement on November 11, 1918, at Compiègne Forest, which became the end of real race.

Treaty of Versailles

The Treaty of Versailles (1919) is a peace treaty in which the treaty formally ends World War I between the Allies and the German Empire. Although previously the state of formal war between the two sides still continue for seven months.

Negotiations between allied countries began on May 7, 1919, on the anniversary of the sinking of RMS Lusitania. The rules applied to Germany on the agreement include the transfer of parts of Germany to some of its neighbors, the dispossession of German overseas colonies and Africa, as well as restrictions on German military forces expected to prevent Germany from resuming war.

Because Germany was not allowed to take part in the negotiations, the German government sent a protest against what they considered to be unfair, and subsequently withdrew from the negotiations.

Until recently, the new German foreign minister, Hermann Müller, agreed to sign the Treaty of Versailles. This Agreement itself was ratified by the League of Nations on 10 January 1920.

In the Versailles Treaty signed after World War I, on 28 June 1919, which also sparked the founding of the League of Nations, Germany surrendered its colonies and parts of its European territory. Poland was liberated and acquired Posen (now Poznan), part of Silesia, and part of West Prussia.

Alsace and Lorraine are controlled by Germany returned to France. France can also control the Saar region for 15 years. This Agreement also laid the Rhineland under the occupation of the Allied Forces for 15 years. The number of German troops at minuscule does not exceed 100,000 people, and is prohibited from having air forces. Germany also had to pay war reparations to the Allied Army for £ 6,600 million.

An estimated 8.6 million people were killed in World War I. The Allied Bloc lost 5.1 million people, while the Central Block was 3.5 million. The PDI resulted in enormous destruction of the countries involved, known as the "War To End All Wars" so that there was World War II (World War II).

However, the public of the United States rejected the ratification of this Treaty of Versailles, especially since the League of Nations of the treaty was made, not officially ending its participation in the war, until the Knox-Porter Resolution was signed in 1921.

After the Treaty of Versailles, agreements with Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire were signed. However, the final treaty negotiations with the Ottoman Empire were followed by a dispute (Turkish War of Independence), and the last peace agreement between the Allied Bloc and the country which soon became the new Turkish Republic was signed on 24 July 1923 in Lausanne.

A number of war memorials mention that the end of World War I was when the Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919, when many soldiers who served overseas eventually returned to their own countries.

On the contrary, many warnings of the end of World War I were centered on the truce that took place on 11 November 1918 in Compiègne Forest. By law, the formal peace treaty has not been completed until the signing of the final treaty, the Lausanne Treaty. As per its provisions, the Allied forces came out of Constantinople on 23 August 1923. []
