The Great War, or simply World War I was a war that spread all across Europe. A war so widespread and destructive was unheard of at the time. It was a clash between many nations due to nationalism, militarism, and alliances.
The Industrial Revolution led to imperialism. The Europeans needed resources and were competing against each other. It was all a large power struggle. They wanted land, resources and power.
Alliances also set off a domino effect within Europe. Because of the Triple Entente (Russia, France, Britain) and the Triple Alliance (Italy, Austria-Hungary and Germany), six nations were dragged into the war in a matter of days.
