Known as the Great War, it began after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Involved major powers divided into the Allies and Central Powers. Ended with the Treaty of Versailles, leading to massive political changes.
The deadliest war in history, sparked by Nazi Germany’s invasion of Poland. Fought across Europe, Asia, and Africa with devastating consequences. Ended with the defeat of the Axis Powers and the beginning of the Cold War era.
The wars shaped the United Nations, modern geopolitics, and international law. They remain stark reminders of the cost of global conflict.
