Great War

The Great War (also known as the First World War and The War to End All Wars) was a conflict fought from July 28th, 1914, to November 11, 1918, between the Triple Alliance (the German, Austro/Hungarian, and Ottoman Empires) and the Entante Powers (Britain, France, the Russian Empire until 1917, and the United States from 1917).

The war was notable for being the beginning of modern warfare. It saw the first use of combat aircraft and tanks as well as gas-based chemical weaponry. It was also the first war in which advanced modern weapons such as machine guns and artillery were used, forcing military strategists to adopt completely new tactics.
