This war was a significant turning point in the political, economic, social and cultural climate of the world

Complete answer:
The two groups in World War I were central powers and the allies. Germany, Austria, Italy were considered as Central powers and also known as Triple Alliance. France, Russia, Britain were considered as allies and also known as Triple Entente. The royal navy of the British blockaded the German territory. Germany used two war front strategies against France and Russia. Germany used its U boats to counter the royal navy. Submarines were called U boats in Germany. Initially Germany was the winning side.
How did the United States enter into the war? German U boats attacked and sank five United States merchant ships in 1915 . Around a thousand Americans lost their lives. It forced the United States to declare war against Germany and join with the Allies. After the involvement of America, the winning side changed from Germany to allies. World War I came to an end after the treaty of Versailles on 28 June,1919. The League of Nations was formed after World War I. This war suppressed European supremacy and the United States emerged as a World power.
