World War I caused greater destruction and involved more countries than any other war except WWII. An assassin's bullet set off the war, and a system of military agreements brought the main European powers into the fight.

Extreme patriotism gave men a cause to die for and propaganda raised support for the war while making the enemy seem villainous.
