The First War

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary in Sarajevo by Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip in June 1914 sparked a series of events that led to the outbreak of World War 1. Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia in response to the assassination. This drew other European countries into the war through a network of alliances. By early August 1914, Germany, France, Britain, Russia, and others were engaged in the war. The war eventually spread to involve countries in the Middle East, Asia, Africa, and saw over 16 million deaths before an armistice was signed in November 1918 ending the war.

Results of The War
World War I was one of the great watersheds of 20th-century geopolitical history. It led to the
fall of four great imperial dynasties (in Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey), resulted
in the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, and in its destabilization of European society, laid the
groundwork for World War 1. 11.16 million people died and 20 million got wounded leaving 8
million as war prisoners. Enormous destruction took place and European countries almost lost
all young men. The war led to defeat of problematic government. The economy drastically
dropped down. No European country was in good state.
