step one the beginning
The war started with two smallish countries Serbia and Austria-Hungary. Because a spy organization called "the Black Hand" had someone named Gavrilo Princip murdered Archduke Ferdinand. Then a few days later Austria declared war on Serbia.
step two the escalation
the final step the Americaning
On April 2, 1917 America joined the fight because a German submarine sank the Lusitania which was a passenger boat. So it just wasn't supplies they were destroying it are American citizens they killed. So America sent 2 million army men to France right at the time Russia dropped out because they had to basically shut the whole country down when they were in war. So when Germany's eastern troops went to help the western soldiers you would think it would go better. But then America got there at that time so we over powered then because we're America. On November 11, 1918 the war ended so when we joined it was a three year war but when we joined it only took 1.5 years to end it. One guy from West Virginia was named Mason M. Patrick and he was given the rank of major.World War One made Germany broke and gave Japan and Italy nothing so in return they joined forces in WWII.
