It depends on what you mean by bad.

  • So many countries were involved because of treaties that were signed well before the outbreak of war. Therefore making it inevitable that so many countries would be involved.
  • In terms of deaths, the trenches were a system which had not been used before, this was the first time where warfare as we know it was used. Before this battles had been large scale engagements in ranks, such as the Nepolionic wars. Therefore the generals were inexperienced and so many lives were wasted by 'going over the top'.
  • The trenches were first built by the Germans because the British and French counter attack was pushing them back at a very rapid rate. Thus causing the aforementioned situation.

Italy wanted to be a world power so it allied with Germany and Austria-Hungary. Russia was mad at Austria-Hungary for declaring war on Serbia, and the ottoman empire was afraid of Russia so it allied with Germany and Austria-Hungary. When Austria Hungary declared war on Serbia Russia Declared war on Austria-Hungary, When Russia mobilized Germany declared war on Russia, France allied with Russia had to declare war, when Germany marched through Blegium-neutral-Britain declared war on Germany. With the tensions that had been going on in Europe for years, the war was inevitable.-war of alliances World War 2 was caused by World War 1-if Germany hadn't been hurt so bad by the Treaty of Versailles then Hitler would never have come to power and Germany would not have expanded.-imperialism war The Vietnam Wars were caused by the spread of communism and economic issues that had been going around the world at the time.
