43% of players answered correctly.

THE CORRECT ANSWER: World War 1

The First World War, often called the "Great War," began on July 28, 1914, exactly one month after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo. This event acted as the detonator for a complex system of alliances among the major European powers, plunging the world into a conflict of unprecedented industrial violence. For four years, nations clashed in a grueling trench war, redrawing the borders of Europe and the Middle East. This conflict marked the entry into military modernity with the widespread use of aircraft, tanks, and poison gas. The end of the war in 1918 left a devastated continent and a sacrificed generation, laying the groundwork for tensions that would unfortunately resurface two decades later. Understanding 1914 means grasping how the failure of diplomacy and rampant nationalism can transform a regional crisis into a devastating global conflagration.
