World War I began in 1914 after tensions between European powers led to a system of alliances that pulled countries into war. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand led Austria-Hungary to issue an ultimatum to Serbia, sparking conflict. Though the U.S. initially remained neutral, it later joined the Allied forces after attacks on U.S. merchant ships and the discovery of the Zimmerman Telegram. The war involved new military technologies and tactics like trench warfare, costing millions of lives until an armistice in 1918. The ensuing Treaty of Versailles imposed harsh terms on Germany, sowing seeds for future conflict.
World War I began in 1914 after tensions between European powers led to a system of alliances that pulled countries into war. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand led Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia, drawing in allies on both sides. Over four years, new military technologies like machine guns, tanks, aircraft, and poison gas led to stalemate and trench warfare with millions of casualties. The U.S. initially remained neutral but entered the war in 1917 after German U-boats attacked American ships. An armistice in 1918 ended the war. The ensuing Treaty of Versailles imposed harsh terms on Germany, sowing seeds for future conflict.

The document summarizes key aspects of segregation and the civil rights movement in the United States, including:
Segregation enforced racial separation in public spaces like schools, transportation, and public accommodations through Jim Crow laws. The 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court ruling declared segregation unconstitutional, sparking massive resistance from white southerners. Events like the Montgomery Bus Boycott and murder of Emmett Till further galvanized the civil rights movement to challenge racial injustices through nonviolent protest and legal challenges to segregation.
