Answer 1

The First World War, sometimes known as WWI or WW1, was a global conflict that began in Europe and lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918.

Important Points

The growth of European states as empires (also known as imperialism) can be considered as a major cause of World War I, since as countries like Britain and France extended their empires, tensions between European countries escalated.
The conflicts arose from the fact that many colonies were conquered by compulsion.
Then, after a nation had been invaded, it was administered by the imperial nation: many of these colonial states were exploited by their mother countries, resulting in widespread discontent and hatred.

Thus, the First World War was fought between 1914-1918.

Additional Information

The Great War, also known as "the war to end all wars," resulted in the mobilisation of more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, making it one of the largest wars in history, as well as one of the deadliest conflicts, with an estimated 8.5 million combatants and 13 million civilians killed as a direct result of the conflict.
