World War I (WWI)‚ which was predominantly called the World War or the Great War from its occurrence until 1939‚ and the First World War or World War I thereafter‚ was a major war centered in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918.

It is about 6 o’ clock in the morning‚ and we are in the rest trenches due to continuous firing from a rifle gun and a machine gun. It’s been going on for approximately four hours.

World War one was full of technological advances and I will be talking about three of them in my essay. Each of these advances was used by the Allies or the Central Powers. Both sides were extremely smart and has provided us with new ideas and inventions that we still use today. One tactic that was used was trench warfare. The soldiers would stand in the ground with high walls for protection. This provided shelter from gunfire. These walls were tall enough so everyone could stand behind them. One

Dear mom and dad‚ Finally‚ I have the chance to drop you a few lines. I miss you guys so much. How are you guys doing? For me it’s not really that great. Despite everything I recall how excited I was going for the war. I still remember how I was reeking with curiosity to what’s to happen. But now I don’t know anymore.

Despite the fact that the firearms fell quiet after the Armistice of Compiegne in November of 1918‚ the effect of the war continues to be felt to this day‚ at no other time has innovation been put to such destructive ends. The United States rose up out of World War I as the world superpower. In view of U.S. intervention and President Woodrow Wilson’s diplomatic administration‚ America had now turned into the "savior of Europe." World War I gave the U.S a major confidence boost. There was an evil

To a large extent I think that extreme nationalism is the most significant factor in leading the outbreak of the First World War. “Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind”. This was said by Albert Einstein. Nationalism is the desire of people of the

Why did Russia get involved in the First World War? The ultimate cause of the First World War began in the Balkan
