Actually, each of the five major combatants (France, the United Kingdom, German Empire, Russian Empire, and the Austo-Hungarian Empire) lost so many 18-30 year olds during the war that they all can be considered to have lost a generation.

Historians generally consider that Europe as a whole lost a generation of men due to WW1. Overall, roughly 15% of allEuropean men born between 1890 and 1900 were killed during WW1, with almost 50% becoming casualties (physical or psychological wounds).

For comparison: men in the 18-30 age range constituted about 10% to the total population of most European countries, and the average combatant country lost about 3-4% of its total population due to WW1. The vast majority of those deaths occurred in the male, 18-30 age range.
