Taking place from 1914 to 1918, the Great War (or, World War I) was not in fact more protracted than other major wars that had taken place earlier, that is, during the 19th century. For example, the first fifteen years of the 19th century were almost entirely dedicated to war between France and other nations in Europe; the Crimean War lasted nearly three years; the American Civil War raged for four years. The Great War was, however, much more destructive.
