    World War 1 was a transformative global conflict fought from 1914 to 1918 that involved many of the world's leading powers. Some of the key causes included militarism, alliances between European countries that pulled them into the war, imperialism and competition for resources, and rising nationalism among many nations. The war was started by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary and led to major battles like the Somme and Verdun along the Western Front. New technologies like tanks, airplanes, and chemical weapons brought horrific dimensions to the battlefield. After years of costly fighting and over 15 million deaths, a peace treaty assigned blame to Germany and redrew the map of Europe, but failed to prevent future conflicts
