The Great War,(World War I) was a very catastrophic four year event that killed more than 33 million people. The sides came to the Allied Powers and the Central Powers. In OTL, the Allies won, but in this, the Central Powers won. This war was a very modern war with airplanes, tanks, machine guns, and chemical gas weapons. Each side had heavy losses, as more than one million solders died at the Battle of Somme. Most people wished this would be the war to end all wars, but they were mistaken.

Before The World War

Before the war, Europe was in a large alliance system. Austria-Hungary and Germany first made a Dual Alliance to intimidate Europe. The Netherlands joined this in 1905, and Bulgaria joined this in 1906. France and Russia created their Dual Alliance. Brittain remained out, but felt lonely so it created its own Dual Alliance with Japan. This really sparked when all these countries participated in the arms race. Brittain achieved 20000, Germany achieved 20000, France achieved 18000, Russia achieved 24000, Austria-Hungary achieved 18000, Bulgaria achieved 8000, and the Netherlands achieved 8000. Then, Germany, The Netherlands and, Brittain competed in their naval race. The British won by a narrow victory. Even so, the Germans and the Dutch still could beat the British by naval force. With all this army stuff, many engineers thought the army should use an air force. And so, the countries of Europe were able to imply new equipment to the armed forces: the airplane, the tank, machine guns, and chemical gas weapons. There so, the armies became fully trained and ready to fight. Nationalism also played a key role. Everything was good, until Yugoslav nationalists assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Therefor, World War I begun.

Beginning Stage
