The document discusses World War 1 and provides context around its origins and impact. It notes that the war started in 1914, ended in 1918, and resulted in over 10 million military deaths and 20 million wounded. Nationalism, imperialism, and a complex system of alliances between European powers meant that a conflict between two countries could escalate and draw others in. New military technologies like machine guns, artillery, gas weapons, and tanks increased casualties but also changed the nature of warfare. The war had widespread social and political impacts across Europe and was the first truly industrialized global conflict.
