(1914-1918)-Known at the time as "The Great War," and
as "The World War," this conflict was the greatest
military battle in history up to that time. Only the
successor conflict known as World War Two would surpass
the First World War in ferocity, death, and the fall of
nations and regimes. While the spark that lit
the European powderkeg was the assassination of
Archduke
Franz Ferdinand,
the actual reasons for war had been brewing for decades
before that fateful murder in the summer of
1914. An American machine
