Great War (In Frederick's Fields)

The Great War, poetically sometimes referred to as The War to End All Wars, was a major conflict, one of the largest in human history, ocurring throughout Europe (and spilling over into its colonies in Africa and the Middle East) between 1915 and 1920. The Great War faced the major powers of the world in two major groups, the Allied Powers (or Vereinberung) and the Central Alliance (Entente Centraux). The War had a myriad of different causes; the main one was the resurge of imperialism in the world during the latest part of the nineteenth century, as well as the constant struggle between the Revanchist-led French Republic and the German Empire (and its British ally, eventually); however, the direct catalyst of the war was the conflict of interest between the Panslavic Russian Empire and its Turco-Austrian enemies, as well as the rise of the "Fight for Freedom" ideology in Britain, Germany and Russia, which seeked to liberate the peoples of these nations. Eventually, the Great War turned to be one of the most important events of human history, marking the shape of human events for decades to come.
