Historical Note
World War I, also called First World War or Great War, an international conflict that in 1914–1918
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. It ended
with the defeat of the Central Powers. The war was virtually unprecedented in the slaughter, carnage, and
destruction it caused.
