UK: 'For Humanity's Sake-Save a Life'. First World War propaganda poster, c. 1917

World War I (WWI or WW1 or World War One), also known as the First World War or the Great War, was a global war centred in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. More than 9 million combatants and 7 million civilians died as a result of the war, a casualty rate exacerbated by the belligerents' technological and industrial sophistication, and tactical stalemate. It was one of the deadliest conflicts in history, paving the way for major political changes, including revolutions in many of the nations involved. The war drew in all the world's economic great powers, which were assembled in two opposing alliances: the Allies (based on the Triple Entente of the United Kingdom, France and the Russian Empire) and the Central Powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary. Although Italy had also been a member of the Triple Alliance alongside Germany and Austria-Hungary, it did not join the Central Powers, as Austria-Hungary had taken the offensive against the terms of the alliance. These alliances were reorganised and expanded as more nations entered the war: Italy, Japan and the United States joined the Allies, and the Ottoman Empire and Bulgaria the Central Powers. Ultimately, more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilised in one of the largest wars in history.

UK: 'For Humanity's Sake-Save a Life'. First World War propaganda poster, c. 1917
Descripción:
Traducción automática: La Primera Guerra Mundial (Primera Guerra Mundial o Primera Guerra Mundial o Primera Guerra Mundial), también conocida como Primera Guerra Mundial o Gran Guerra, fue una guerra global centrada en Europa que comenzó el 28 de julio de 1914 y duró hasta el 11 de noviembre de 1918. Más de 9 millones de combatientes. y 7 millones de civiles murieron como resultado de la guerra, una tasa de bajas exacerbada por la sofisticación tecnológica e industrial de los beligerantes y el estancamiento táctico. Fue uno de los conflictos más mortíferos de la historia y allanó el camino para importantes cambios políticos, incluidas revoluciones en muchas de las naciones involucradas. La guerra atrajo a todas las grandes potencias económicas del mundo, que estaban reunidas en dos alianzas opuestas: los Aliados (basados en la Triple Entente del Reino Unido, Francia y el Imperio Ruso) y las Potencias Centrales de Alemania y Austria-Hungría. Aunque Italia también había sido miembro de la Triple Alianza junto con Alemania y Austria-Hungría, no se unió a las Potencias Centrales, ya que Austria-Hungría había tomado la ofensiva contra los términos de la alianza. Estas alianzas se reorganizaron y ampliaron a medida que más naciones entraron en la guerra: Italia, Japón y Estados Unidos se unieron a los Aliados, y el Imperio Otomano y Bulgaria a las Potencias Centrales. Al final, más de 70 millones de militares, incluidos 60 millones de europeos, fueron movilizados en una de las guerras más grandes de la historia.
