Italy and the United States would enter on the side of
the allies.

had begun.
10. Causes
4. Nationalism
Much of the origin of the war was based on the
desire of the Slavic peoples in Bosnia and
Herzegovina to no longer be part of Austria Hungary
but instead be part of Serbia.
11. Causes
5. Immediate Cause: Assassination of Archduke
Franz Ferdinand
The immediate cause of World War I that made all
the aforementioned items come into play (alliances,
imperialism, militarism, nationalism) was the
assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of
Austria-Hungary.
12. How the war began
June 28 1914 in Sarajevo, Bosnia
Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir
to the throne of Austro-Hungarian empire.
Gavrilo Princip ; Member of the Black Hand
(National Secret Society) and Ferdinand's assassin
from Serbia.
July 28 1914
Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia.
13. Tangle of Alliances
Russia, bound by treaty to Serbia, announced mobilization
of its vast army in her defense,
Germany, allied to Austria-Hungary by treaty, viewed the
Russian mobilization as an act of war against Austria-Hungary,
declared war on Russia after scant warning on 1 August
1914.
France, bound by treaty to Russia, found itself at war
against Germany and, by extension, on Austria-Hungary
following a German declaration on 3 August 1914.
Germany was swift in Invading Neutral Belgium so as to reach
Paris by the shortest possible route.
14. Britain joined
Britain, allied to France by a more loosely worded
treaty which placed a "moral obligation" upon her to
defend France, declared war against Germany on 4
August 1914. Her reason for entering the conflict
lay in another direction: she was obligated to defend
neutral Belgium by the terms of a 75-year old
treaty.
15. Britain Colonies & Dominions
With Britain's entry into the war, her colonies and
dominions abroad variously offered military and
financial assistance, and
included Australia, Canada, India, New
Zealand and the Union of South Africa.
16. Japan & Italy
Japan, honoring a military agreement with
Britain, declared war on Germany on 23 August
1914. Two days later Austria-Hungary responded by
declaring war on Japan.
Italy, although allied to both Germany and Austria-
Hungary, was able to avoid entering the fray by citing a
clause enabling it to evade its obligations to both. In
short, Italy was committed to defend Germany and
Austria-Hungary only in the event of a 'defensive' war;
arguing that their actions were 'offensive' she declared
instead a policy of neutrality. The following year, in May
1915, she finally joined the conflict by siding with the
Allies against her two former allies.
17. United States
United States President Woodrow Wilson declared
a U.S. of absolute neutrality, an official stance that
would last until 1917 when Germany's policy of
unrestricted submarine warfare - which seriously
threatened America's commercial shipping - forced
the U.S. to finally enter the war on 6 April 1917.
18. How the War ended
Woodrow Wilson (left) campaigned for a peaceful
end to the war. He appealed to both sides to try to
settle the war by diplomatic means but was
unsuccessful.
In February 1917, the Germans announced an
unrestricted submarine warfare campaign. They
planned to sink any ship that approached Britain
whether it was a military ship, supply ship or
passenger ship.
19. How the War ended
On April 3rd 1917, Wilson made a speech declaring
that America would enter the war and restore peace
to Europe.
The German commander Erich Ludendorff (right)
was a brilliant military commander and had won
decisive victories over Russia in 1917 that led to the
Russian withdrawal from the war.
20. How the War ended
Although his offense was initially successful to the
allies held ground and eventually pushed the Germans
back.
By 1918 there were strikes and demonstrations in
Berlin and other cities protesting about the effects of
the war on the population.
21. How the War ended
Marshall Koch's railway carriage
On 11th November the leaders of both sides held a
meeting in Ferdinand Foch's railway carriage
headquarters at Compiegne.
The defeat of the central powers was due to mainly
the failure of the Schrieffer plan.

23. First, the World War I ended up with the defeat of the Central
Powers under the leadership of Germany.
Second, the World War I also saw the collapse of four
Empires-German, Austrian, Turkish and Russian.
Third, the World War I paved the way for the Bolshevik
Revolution in Russia.
24. Fourth, Russia withdrew from the War by signing the Treaty of
Breast-Litovsk by which she had to accept harsh terms dictated by
Germany.
Fifth, another important result of the World War I was the triumph of
democracy in Europe. Democratic governments were established in
different countries of Europe.
Sixth, as a result of the World War I the trade-union movement
started in different countries at a large scale. The labor became
actively conscious about their rights.
25. The World War One ended in 1918, it led to many
geographical and economical changes on international level,
many killed due to the tangled alliances.
It made a deep effect on each country in the world after the
WORLD WAR ONE.
After that WORLD WAR 2 was fought in 1939 – 1945
