| - The Great War, originally known as the War to End All Wars, was a major international war centered in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 9 December 1917. It involved all the world's great powers, which were assembled in two opposing alliances: the Entente (based on the Triple Entente of France, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire) and the Allies (based on the Triple Alliance of the United Kingdom, Prussia and Russia). The war is almost unanimously said to have begun with the Attack on the Imperial Council in Vienna, Austria, by Yugoslav nationalists who had lived in Bosnia. Several delegates were wounded, two Christian-Socialists were killed, along with the heir presumptive Franz Ferdinand. Austria blamed Serbia for the attacks, and after an ultimatum, declared war. The Ottoman Empire and France soon joined on the side of Austria. Russia soon joined to aid Serbia, a Slavic ally, and the Triple Alliance followed suit. Contesting alliances and imperialism around the globe also brought the war to the Far East, Africa, and North America. After several years of war, an armistice was signed that gave victory to the Entente powers. The war was unique in that conflict between nations and conflict within nations itself ultimately led to the demise of several empires on both sides of the war, including the Prussian, Russian, Austro-Hungarian, and Ottoman empires. The treaty recognized the ends of these empires, as well as the land transfers associated with the victories (and losses) of the Entente powers. To ensure another major war would be avoided, the Concert of Nations was created. The war was one of the most deadly and costly wars in history, and effectively settled major issues and tensions brought on since the French Revolution.
