The First World War broke out on 28th JUNE, 1914 after the assassination of "FRANCIS FERDINAND ARCHDUKE" who was the heir to the throne of AUSTRIA-HUNGARY. He was assassinated by a SERBIAN gang known as "BLACK HAND".

Austria-Hungary, supported by Germany, declared war on Serbia on July 28, 1914. The chain of events that followed in the next few days was as follows:

  • Russia, an ally of Serbia, began a partial mobilization.
  • Germany declared war on Russia, August 1, 1914.
  • Germany declared war on France, August 3, 1914.
  • German troops invaded Belgium, August 4, 1914.
  • Britain declared war on Germany, August 4, 1914.

All of these countries were in war on August 4, 1914.

The war began when Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia following the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand, heir to the Austrian throne. The fighting ended on 11 November 1918.

WW l started in 1914 and ended in 1918

World War I began on July 28, 1939. It ended on November 11, 1945.

1914.

If the question is referencing the first world war, fought by mostly European powers, the war started the summer of 1914.

There were other events that lead to the war like the arms race between Germany and Britain to see who could make the most dreadnought (boats) and the events in morocco. This is when Germany and France both wanted morocco. There was a civil war in morocco in 1911 the french put their army there and never took them out again. Germany were angry and sent one dreadnought to scare them. This did not worked!!! lol but France did give Germany some marsh land which made them even more angry.

If you are refering to World War 1 then it began in 1914 and ended in 1918

June 28, 1914 is typically considered the starting date. The first combat action started July 28, 1914. The United Kingdom entered the war on August 4, 1918.

World War I ended on November 11, 1918. A treaty was signed in 1919.


WWI ran from 28th July 1914 to 11th November 1918.
