World War I, or the Great War, was supposedly the war to end all wars. The war engaged most of the world’s most powerful nations and countries of every continent participated. The war was caused by a culmination of many factors that exploded into a conflict after the assassination of Austria’s Archduke. Imperialism, colonialism, militarism, a grand system of alliances, and rampant nationalism played parts in the eruption of war. With over 15 million dead, the war had devastating consequences that will profoundly change the power struggle in Europe and the world. The rise of America to power which will then choose post-war isolationism would lend itself to a weak international system of cooperation challenged by a global depression. Power vacuums in countries such as Germany and Italy would be filled with dictators and fervent nationalism that will open the doors to yet another global war.
