WW1 - War to End All Wars
World War One started, because the Austro-Hungarian Duke Franz Ferdinand was shot and killed by a Serbian nationalist, causing the strong empire of Austro-Hungary to declare war on Serbia. This war caused Russia who was an ally of Serbia, to declare war on Austro-Hungary, leading to Germany declaring on Russia, then France and then eventually Britian going to war with Germany. The war led to very advanced ways of people to kill each other, such as gas weapons and tanks.
