Some of the weapons that were developed and used during the war.
World War I was also known as “The Great War”, it was fought from 1914-1918. The conflict was between the central powers and the allied powers, which were France, Russia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Italy, as well as for the United States. They fought against the Central Powers were made up of Germany, Austria, and the Ottoman Empire. The downfall of the Central powers, as they were not strong enough to contain pressure from Russia on the East, and France and the rest of Europe coming from the West. This caused the downfall of the Empire and created a long difficult economic time for the countries that were part of the Central Powers. The entire conflict started when Franz Ferdinand, the Archduke of Austria, traveled to Serbia and was assassinated. This made Austria mad, and they wanted revenge on the people that killed their leader. They issued an ultimatum of surrender to Serbia. Russia was forced by treaty to enter their army to save Serbia and fight against Austria.As a result, this started a major mud-slide causing country after country to get involved with the war and to begin to pay and invest a lot of money.

Map Of The Alliances Between The COUntries. During World War 1 women in Britain and Germany were earning their own income,it opened a greater degree of independence and did much to retard the notion that a women’s place was at the hearth.Another side effect of the war was that a whole generation of women found it difficult to marry, in all three countries, as a substantial number of young men had been wiped out in the battlefields.The war accelerated the equality of women to men.
http://www.pbs.org/greatwar/resources/casdeath_pop.html The friendship between the countries in Europe was trully the cause of WWI because it made other countries get involved when they shouldn't have. This could easily happen again in the Middle East today. If Iran bombs Israel then the United States will go and defend it's ally. Both the President and candidate Mitt Romney have already said that they will go and defend Israel. This is not good because we as the U.S. has been in a "war" for more then 10 yrs now and our economy has shown for it. Although more then half of the people in the U.S. are debt, some are reeping the benifits of this madness. This certain people are the ones who build the guns, tanks, bullets, jets, battleships, and those who will rebuild the destroyed cities. It is unjust to bring an entire country to war and massive debt for only a few people to become benifted from the outcome of the war.
