HISTORY OF

World WAR 1
BY: Dahon And Daniela
Introduction
The First World War began as a conflict
between Austria-Hungary and Serbia.
Austria-Hungary, encouraged by its German
ally, declared war on Serbia on August 4,
1914, in retribution for the June 28 murder
of the Austrian heir to the throne by a
Serbian national.
 DATE
July 28, 1914 – November 11, 1918

World War I or the First World War (28 July

1914 – 11 November 1918) was a global
conflict between two coalitions, the Allies
and the Central Powers.
 OTHER INFO
World War I was one of the great watersheds
of 20th-century geopolitical history. It led to
the fall of four great imperial dynasties (in
Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary, and
Turkey), resulted in the Bolshevik Revolution
in Russia, and, in its destabilization of
European society, laid the groundwork for
World War II.

 EFFECT
DADDY HITLER
The First World War destroyed
empires, created numerous new
nation-states, encouraged
independence movements in
Europe's colonies, forced the United
States to become a world power and
led directly to Soviet communism
and the rise of Hitler.
LANDSCAPE
The forests of Europe were
significantly changed, going from
being diverse ecosystems pre-war to
monocultures after the war, dominated
by single species of trees. The soil
was also affected, more heavily in
some places, becoming contaminated
with heavy metals, as well as
becoming entirely disturbed.
 AFTERMATH
Four empires collapsed due to the war, old
countries were abolished, new ones were formed,
boundaries were redrawn, international
organizations were established, and many new
and old ideologies took a firm hold in people's
minds.
