World War I

 World War I!
The Great War

World War I began on July 28th 1914 and it was a result of the assassination of the archduke Ferdinand of Austria Hungary by Serbia.
The U.S.A. decided to get involved after the Zimmerman telegram was sent. This was a telegram that was sent to mexico by Germany trying to get mexico to go to war with the United States. It was intercepted by Britain and then shown to the United States. The United States was already on edge from the sinking of the Lusitania and this was the final straw.
World War I ended on November 11th 1918 because of the German surrender and then the treaty of Versailles.

Below are some statistics of deaths in WWI
