| - With the death of Franz-Ferdinand of Austria, the complex web of alliances of Europe began unraveling into factions that quickly polarized into two world alliances pitted against one another. Siding with Austro-Hungary were Germany, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire. After the infamous Zimmerman Telegram, the United States of America joined the war effort firmly on the side of Germany against the Entente powers. The Entente grew gradually to encompass France, Portugal, Great Britain, and by extension the Kingdom of Canada and the Confederate States of America. Italy eventually joined on the side of the Entente, notwithstanding its treaties with Germany and Austria-Hungary. As the fighting began in earnest on the American continent, the United States quickly overpowered British power in the Kingdom of Canada, and with a promise of Sovereignty to Quebec, secured a strong ally against the British with the creation of the Republic of New France. Although the war dragged on for nearly 5 years, the official peace treaty, the Treaty of the Saarland was signed in June of 1919, marking the official end to hostilities.
