The First World War, in some cases referred to as WWI or WW1, was a worldwide dispute that started in Europe and lasted from July the 28th 1914 to November the 11th 1918.

The Great War, also called "the war to end all wars," led to the mobilization of more than 70 million army workers, including but not limited to sixty million Europeans, making it one of the biggest wars in history and one of the most dangerous conflicts in history, with an approximated 8.5 million contenders and thirteen million citizens killed as a direct outcome of the war.

The genocides that followed, and also the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic, killed countless people everywhere in the world.

The horrors of World War I include a deadly disease, the Spanish flu, hundreds of days with noise, gas, gangrene, mud, bullets, machine guns, and the feeling of constant death and destruction all around them. It includes the infamous Armenian genocide of millions of innocent women and children, the slaughter of unsuspecting soldiers, and the traumatizing experiences millions of soldiers faced in the trenches in France. Machine guns were the norm, and a war like this had never been seen before.
