world war one fought from the years of 1914-1918
1914-1918
In the early years of World War One the Germans, Austrians, Hungarians and Serbians and the French fought in the war.
During World War II's first two years, from 1939 up to 1941, numerous major battles occurred. In 1939, Germany invaded Poland, conquering it in a little more than a month. Early in 1940, successful campaigns were waged by Germany in Denmark, Norway, and France. Later that year, the famous Battle of Britain took place. Throughout, battles were fought on the Atlantic Ocean by naval forces as well as in the Mediterranean Basin, which also included battles in North Africa and in Greece by Italian armies.
If you mean large battles, I believe it would have to be Robert E. Lee. Lee commanded the Army of Northern Virginia for almost three years. The main Union Army opposed to him had six commanders during that time. The other main theater of war was the "west", which during the Civil War meant west of the Appalachians but east of the Mississippi River, and on neither side did any general come close to that amount of time in command.
