WORLD WAR I COLORING PAGES
World War I , also known as the First World War, was a global war centred in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918.
From the time of its occurrence until the approach of World War II, it was called simply the World War or the Great War, and thereafter the First World War or World War I.
In America, it was initially called the European War.
More than 9 million combatants were killed; a casualty rate exacerbated by the belligerents' technological and industrial sophistication, and tactical stalemate.
It was the 5th-deadliest conflict in history, paving the way for major political changes, including revolutions in many of the nations involved.
By the end of the war, four major imperial powers—the German, Russian, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires—ceased to exist.
The successor states of the former two lost substantial territory, while the latter two were dismantled. The map of Europe was redrawn, with several independent nations restored or created.
The League of Nations formed with the aim of preventing any repetition of such an appalling conflict.
This aim failed, with weakened states, renewed European nationalism and the German feeling of humiliation contributing to the rise of fascism and the conditions for World War II.
