World War I
World War I (World War One) refers to the major European centered war which took place from 1914 to 1918. World War I was fought in the trenches, with thousands of soldiers often dying to gain a few yards of empty ground. New, more deadly weapons and new rules of warfare decimated an entire British generation and caused people to question the meaning of life and all worldly institutions.

About World War I
World War I started in June of 1914 when Arch Duke Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated. Austria retaliated against Serbia and suddenly the many different alliances between European states brought the continent to war. Because the European nations had colonies all over the world, the conflict spread world wide quickly.
By 1918 Europe was full of soldiers battling in trenches on multiple fronts for the British, French, German, Russian, Austro-Hungarian, and Ottoman Empires. Then the United States joined the conflict and a cease-fire was called soon after. At wars end, in November of 1918, several of the empires fighting no longer had an empire.
Armistice Day, on November 11 each year, celebrates the end of World War I.
