The First World War (1914-18) was the first global conflict, the first mechanised conflict, and the first to involve civilians far from the fighting front. In this gallery of 50 images, we explore the history of the war and follow its development in various theatres on land, in the air, and at sea. The story begins with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo and ends with the Paris Peace Conference. Along the way there was heroism and tragedy, innovation and incompetence, and horror and humanity as the world fought what would become known simply as the 'Great War'.
Europe on the Eve of the First World War, 1914
A map illustrating the situation in Europe as it teetered on the brink of World War I (1914-18). The political landscape was marked by intricate alliance systems and fierce imperial rivalries among European powers, especially between the British, Russian, and German empires, with nationalistic fervor soaring and the aspirations of various ethnic groups for greater autonomy or independence high. Meanwhile, Europe had engaged in an arms race, with militarism rising, the nations built up their military forces, stockpiled weapons, and prepared for a potential conflict.
