4. World War I, also called First World War or Great War, an international conflict that in 1914–18 embroiled
most of the nations of Europe along with Russia, the United States, the Middle East, and other regions. The
war pitted the Central Powers—mainly Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey—against the Allies—mainly
France, Great Britain, Russia, Italy, Japan, and, from 1917, the United States.

5. Deaths. The total number of military and civilian casualties in World
War I, was around 40 million. There were 20 million deaths and 21
million wounded. The total number of deaths includes 9.7 million
military personnel and about 10 million civilians.
Important Points
World War 1 was known by a number of different names. Other
names for World War 1 include ‘The War to End All Wars’, The War of
the Nations, WW1 and ‘The Great War’.
The United States only spent seven and a half months in actual combat.
The U.S. was in the war in actual combat for only seven and a half months
during which time 116,000 were killed and 204,000 were wounded. In the Battle
of Verdun in 1916, there were over a million casualties in ten months.

6. Plastic surgery was invented because of WW1. One of the earliest examples of
plastic surgery came during World War I when a surgeon by the name of Harold
Gillies helped shrapnel victims with terrible facial injuries. Shrapnel caused many
facial injuries in WW1 and the twisted metal would inflict far worse injuries than the
straight-line wounds of a bullet. Dr Gillies pioneered the early techniques for facial
reconstruction.
12 million letters were delivered to the frontline every week. Even during
times of war, it only took two days for a letter to be delivered from
Britain to France. A purpose-built mail sorting office was created in Regent’s
Park before the letters were sent to the trenches on the frontline. By the time the
war ended, over two billion letters and 114 million parcels had been delivered to
the trenches!

9. Over time, countries throughout Europe made mutual defense
agreements that would pull them into battle. These treaties
meant that if one country was attacked, allied countries were
bound to defend them. Before World War 1, the following
alliances existed:
Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia, Russia gotinvolved to defend Serbia. Germany seeing
Russiamobilizing, declared war on Russia. France was thendrawn in against Germany and
Austria-Hungary. Germanyattacked France through Belgium pulling Britain into war.Then Japan
entered the war. Later, Italy and the UnitedStates would enter on the side of the allies.

10. Imperialism is when a country increases their power andwealth by bringing additional territories under
theircontrol. Before World War I, Africa and parts of Asia werepoints of contention among the
European countries. Thiswas especially true because of the raw materials theseareas could provide.
The increasing competition anddesire for greater empires led to an increase inconfrontation that
helped push the world into WW I.

11. 3. Militarism
As the world entered the 20th century, an arms racehad begun. By 1914, Germany had the greatest increasein military
buildup. Great Britain and Germany bothgreatly increased their navies in this time period.Further, in Germany and Russia
particularly, the military establishment began to have a greater influence on public policy. This increase in militarism
helped push thecountries involved into war

12. Much of the origin of the war was based on the desire ofthe Slavic peoples in Bosnia and Herzegovina to no
longerbe part of Austria Hungary but instead be part of Serbia.In this way, nationalism led directly to the
War. But in amore general way, the nationalism of the variouscountries throughout Europe contributed not
only to thebeginning but the extension of the war in Europe. Eachcountry tried to prove their dominance and
power
3. Nationalism

13. Gavrilo Princip was a Bosnian Serb member of Young Bosnia who sought an end to
Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina. At the age of 19, he assassinated
Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and the Archduke's wife, Sophie, Duchess of
Hohenberg, in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914. Princip and his accomplices were arrested and
implicated as a nationalist secret society, which initiated the July Crisis and led to the
outbreak of World War I.
At his trial, Princip stated that: "I am a Yugoslav nationalist, aiming for the unification of
all Yugoslavs, and I do not care what form of state, but it must be freed from
Austria."Princip was sentenced to twenty years in prison, the maximum for his age, and
was imprisoned at the Terezín fortress. He died on 28 April 1918 from tuberculosis
exacerbated by poor prison conditions which had already caused the loss of his right
arm.
