World War 1

This article is linked to the Conflict And Co-operation topic.

WWI is a biggy in this topic. But, as you did your entire coursework on it and may have gone on a trip, I don't think you need to know anymore!

But as you are here, here is some basic info. == How It Started In A Nutshell...==

Wilhelm of Germany built up his army.

England, France And Russia thought this was fishy, so they teamed up.

Germany was shocked, so they teamed up with Austria Hungary.

"The Black Hand" group from serbia assassinates Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria Hungary.

Austria Hungary get angry and declare war on Serbia.

Serbia was too small, so they asked for help from Russia.

Austria Hungary gets scared, and asks Germany to help out.

Russia then asks France to chip in.

Germany invades Belgium.

As England had a deal that if someone were to invade them, we would go to war with the invader, we declared war on Germany.

WW1 Begins.

How It Ended...
It ended in a very complicated and boring way. If I were you, I'd use the ending of the Vietnam War in the exam.
