World War I

World War I (1914-1918)was a global military conflict involving European powers, the United States and Canada. Many of the old 19th century empires collapsed, shaping the modern world. The humiliating defeat of the German Empire was one of the factors leading to World War II, as Adolph Hitler rose to power in part by appealing to wounded German pride.
