World War I, lasting from 1914 to 1918, began after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary, which triggered a complex web of alliances and escalated tensions among European powers. Major alliances formed: the Allies (including France, Russia, and Britain) and the Central Powers (notably Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire). The war was characterized by trench warfare, significant battles, and new military technologies, leading to massive casualties and widespread destruction. It concluded with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, which imposed heavy reparations on Germany and redrew national boundaries, setting the stage for future conflicts.
