The First World War, also known as The Great War, The War to End All Wars, and World War I (abbreviated WW I) was a
global
military conflict
that took place between 1914 and 1918. It was a
total war
which left millions dead and shaped the modern world.
The
Allied Powers
, led by
France
, the
Russian Empire
, the
United Kingdom
, and the
Kingdom of Italy
, and later also the
United States
defeated the
Central Powers
, led by
Austria-Hungary
, the
German Empire
, and the
Ottoman Empire
.
Much of the fighting in World War I took place along the
Western Front
, within a system of opposing manned trenches and fortifications (separated by a “
No man's land
”) running from the
North Sea
to the border of
Switzerland
. On the
Eastern Front
, the vast eastern plains and limited rail network prevented a trench warfare stalemate from developing, although the scale of the conflict was just as large. Hostilities also occurred on and under the sea and — for the first time — from the air. More than nine million soldiers died on the various battlefields, and millions more civilians suffered; more people died of the worldwide
influenza outbreak
at the end of the war and shortly after than died in the hostilities.
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
and
Yugoslavia
were created, or recreated, as was
the case
with
Poland
.
Ultimately, World War I created a decisive break with the old
world order
that had emerged after the
Napoleonic Wars
, which was modified by the mid-19th century’s
nationalistic
revolutions. The results of World War I would be important factors in the development of
World War II
21 years later.
