This historic event and the outcome of the First World War came into history as one of the most violent and widespread action against all humanity.
main push for military action was the assassination of the Austrian Prince Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo, which occurred in mid-summer 1914.More specifically, the twenty-eighth of July.That is the date of historians, who summed up the First World War, according to the official start of hostilities.The killer was a Bosnian student Gavrilo Princip, which has business relations with one of the most famous and cruel at the time of terrorist organizations.
course of the First World War was inevitable, because long before the well-known murder of the most powerful states in Europe held back his anger at each other.Seven years before the hostilities formed the first military and economic bloc, which are allies in the Russian, French Republic and the United Kingdom.Thus, these countries have agreed to provide all assistance to each other, you can create a great danger for Germany, which, in turn, also created a similar unit, known as the Triple Alliance.In addition to a German power came Avsto Italy and Hungary.
On the eve of the war, Germany has experienced significant problems with the internal strength of the armed forces because of the democratic politics of the Social Democrats, who, since 1912, carried out several reforms aimed at reducing the size of the army.
Surprising was the fact that, despite all the political and military conflict between Russia and Germany, the German artillery troops continued to conduct its exercises on the territory of his future opponent.
summarizing the results of the First World War is said that since 1914 the hostilities developed in several parts of the world.In addition to the battles in Russia and France, the war was a milestone in the African colonies and the Middle East.European colonies, which were in China and Oceania, also did not remain aloof from the war.Based only on this basis, we can say that before in the history of the world was not as large-scale military battles, and if not for the Second World War, the consequences of the First World War would remain the most violent times in history.
Despite these hostilities as an invasion of German troops in Belgium, the border battles in the territory of almost all countries in Europe and the world, France surprised historians that under the guise of a general fear of chaos and attacked the Alsace and Lorraine.These are the lands that the French sacrificed as a result of defeat in the Franco-Prussian War.Thus, one of the members of the Entente did not hesitate to pursue their personal goals, while hiding behind the First World War.
worth noting the action of the German navy, which is a purely geographical situation of the country should not be too strong.Despite this, the German U-boat managed to work wonders in the sea.And what can we say about the fact that they were able to defeat the British fleet, which at that time was known to the whole world their fighting capacity and was considered one of the strongest in the world.
Summarizing the First World War, we can say that it was the first mass failure of Germany as the aggressor.Although this state and was quite powerful rival militarily.But now we can compare these opinions with the events of the second world war in a row, where Germany is also the first time to win everything and everywhere, and in the end turned out to be the losing party in disgrace and was defeated.
