Germany

World War One, consisted of two stages: conventional warfare that lasted from 1914 to 1916 and a war of desperate expedients, when both sides struggled for their own existence were lasting until the end. The two sides of the war consisted of the Allied Powers France, Great Britain, Russia, the United States, and other smaller counties and the Central Powers. Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey/Ottoman Empire, along with other smaller country support.

Though Germany turned out to be the Central Power most involved in the war, there is little or no evidence that the Germans had planned for war. There are several fundamntal causes that had brought the world to the brink of war: nationalism, imperialist competition, militarism, and the buildup of pre-war alliances. These growing appearances of these factors perhaps led to what was called the Great War, World War One. It began participation with the conflict after the declaration of war against Serbia by its ally, Austria-Hungarian. German forces the Allies on both the eastern and western fronts, although German territory itself remained relatively safe from widespread invasion for most of the war.
