The Great War (1914-1918) was a large scale global conflict fought between the Central Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire, Empire of Japan, Italy and others) against the Entente (Britain, France, Russia, U.S. and others.) The war was the largest and most bloody war in Europe until the Second Great War. The Great War was a result of conflicting Imperialistic and national ideals held by major countries in Europe and Asia as well as long term bitterness between nations. France was still resentful of Germany annexing Alsace and Lorraine during the Franco-Prussian War and had long sought revenge. The Great War is most noted for the tremendous amount of manpower involved, about 70 million worldwide (60 million in Europe). The war was triggered by the assassination of Crown Prince

The Great War is most noted for the tremendous amount of manpower involved, about 70 million worldwide (60 million in Europe). The war was triggered by the assassination of Crown Prince George I of Serbia by Austrian-Hungarian student Hanz Fraulen. The subsequent invasion of Austria-Hungary by Serbia resulted in mass mobilization of both alliances and the ensuing conflict consumed most of the world.
