This war had a huge impact on the participating countries and also became a measure for determining the position of a country at the global level. In the world wars, most of the big powers of the world of the time were involved.

Complete answer: The war that was fought between 1914 and 1918 was the first world war. It was between Germany, Australia- Hungary, and the Ottoman Empire against Great Britain, U.S, Japan, Italy, and Russia. There were four main reasons because of the first world war. Militarism, Alliances, Imperialism and Nationalism are the reasons because of which the first world war began. Huge resources of various types such as financial, physical, and human were used in this war and these resources mainly came from the colonies of the superpowers such as India supplied raw material, finished goods, military equipment, and even soldiers from the British side to provide aid to Britain who held paramount power in India at that time. Millions of people were killed or went missing as a result of the first world war. However, Germany and the other central powers lost the war and the allies emerged victorious in the first world war. The battle of Tarain, the battle of Plassey and the second world war was fought in the years, 1192, 1757, and 1939-45 respectively.
Therefore, option B is correct.
