This page is about World War 1
Why WW1 started
World war 1 started because Duke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated and Germany invaded Belgium(for their waffles). There was over 16 million deaths for World War 1.
The weapons used.
The weapons in the war were a major factor. The Germans deployed U-boats which were very dangerous until we developed sonar. The Germans also used fixed-wing aircraft and zeppelins which were practically invincible at their height. The British also used fixed-wing aircraft. The Germans also used gas. Both sides used machine guns and field guns. The trench warfare was horrifying here's one quote about it “The horror of it all kept me awake for weeks, nor has the awfulness of it all deserted me, but at first it seemed a horrid dream.” Anon
Here's a video
World War 1 began on the 28th of July 1914 and ended on November 11th 19. The U.S.A. at the beginning of the war had an isolationist mind-set and didn't want to have anything to do with the war. The Americans joined because the Germans were using unrestricted submarine warfare and they sunk a ship called the Lusitania.
