The Legacy of World War 1: The War That Changed the World

**World War 1 (WWI or WW1), also known as the First World War, was a global war originating in Europe that lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918. Contemporaneously described as "the war to end all wars", it led to the mobilisation of more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, making it one of the largest wars in history. Over 16 million people died, including 9.7 million Europeans, and an additional 7.9 million were wounded.

The war began after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir presumptive to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and his wife Sophie, by Gavrilo Princip, a Serbian nationalist on 28 June 1914. Serbia's allies, Russia and France, and Austria-Hungary's ally, Germany, were drawn into the conflict. Within weeks, the major powers were at war and the conflict had expanded into a global war.
