World War I is infamous for revolutionizing modern warfare as we know it. It is well known that World War I was kicked off by the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The world superpowers engaged in the bloodiest conflict in history at that time, with millions of casualties on either side. World War I transformed the socio-political landscape of the early 20th century and shaped the lives of countless people for decades to come. However, there is much more to World War I than Franz Ferdinand's assassination and the clash of the Entente and Central Powers. It was a conflict deeply rooted in hateful rivalries of the world's most powerful states and came as a somewhat logical conclusion to the endless balancing and political maneuvering of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. And it would change the course of history forever. This book will dive into the Great War, exploring what caused it, how it unfolded, and it's short- and long-term consequences.
