Step-by-step explanation:
World War I lasted from July 28, 1914 to November 11, 1918. It was one of the most widespread wars in the history of mankind.
The formal reason for the war was the event in Sarajevo, where on June 28, 1914, the nineteen-year-old Bosnian Serb Gavrilo Princip, a member of a Serbian-nationalist terrorist group, murdered Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and his wife.
The countries participating in the First World War were divided into two warring camps: the Central powers, made up of Austria-Hungary, Germany (allied with Austria-Hungria and willing for expansion), the Ottoman Empire and the Bulgarian kingdom; and the Entente, composed by the Russian Empire (allied with Serbia), the British Empire, Italy, and the French Republic (which intended to recover Alsace-Lorraine).
