World War I was a global war that lasted from 1914 to 1918 and involved many of the world's major powers. It was the first modern war with new technologies such as machine guns, tanks, and chemical weapons. The war was fought between two major alliances: the Allies, which consisted of France, Russia, and the United Kingdom, and the Central Powers, which consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire. The war was sparked by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary and led to the deaths of millions of soldiers and civilians. The war ended with the Treaty of Versailles, which imposed harsh penalties on Germany and set the stage for World War II.
