Answer 1

Hint: The first world war was fought between the years 1914-1918 and it has been more than hundred years that it has taken place. It was also known as the great war since for the first time a lot of countries were fighting against each other at the same time and it took place all over the world.

Complete answer:
The assasination of Archduke of Austria Franz Ferdinand was the event that really resulted in the first world war which began in the year nineteen fourteen and went on till nineteen eighteen. The first world war was fought between the central and the allied powers. The central powers consisted of Germany,Bulgaria Austria-Hungary e and the Ottoman empire. The allied powers consisted of Italy, Russia, Britain, Japan, France and the United states of America.

Even Though the first world war began in Europe and most of its participant countries were from the European continent still the great couldn't only be limited to a single continent as soon it expanded to the whole world and countries in Asia and Africa also had to face consequences of the war. A lot of the original participant countries had already established colonies in Asia, Americas, Africa and the Pacific which meant that all these colonized nations had to provide their colonizers with help in the first world war. The colonized countries were used for providing soldiers and resources in the war. A lot of times, even the territories of the colonised nations were used as battlefields for the first world war. For example, the Ottoman Empire began the battle in the Middle East and North Africa. The war did not limit itself to land, the war was also fought in the sea on a few occasions as the opponents tried to attack and drown each other’s ship in order to prevent them getting their supplies.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Note: The first world war was also called ‘the war to end all wars’ as it was assumed that no other war would take place after the first world war because of the large scale destruction and casualties. To prevent any such war from happening, the League of Nations was established, but it proved to be a failure when the second world war broke out.
