to refer to World War I (WWI), which was a
global conflict that took place from 1914 to
1918. It was one of the most significant and
devastating wars in history, involving many
of the world's major powers and their
colonies.
The immediate cause of World War I was the

assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of
Austria-Hungary on June 28, 1914, by a
Serbian nationalist. This event triggered a
series of alliances and diplomatic
complexities that eventually led to the
outbreak of war.

general staff from 1858 to 1888, decided that Germany

should stay at first on the defensive in the west and deal a
crippling blow to Russia’s advanced forces before turning to
counterattack the French advance. His immediate successor

The war in the west, 1914
The initial clashes between the French and German

armies along the Franco-German and Franco-Belgian
frontiers are collectively known as the Battle of the
Frontiers.

troops were involved.

including the United States, which entered the war in 1917.
v The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, which imposed heavy
reparations on Germany and redrew the map of Europe.
Major developments in 1916
In 1914 the of World War I had been on
the Western Front, in 1915 it shifted to the
Eastern, and in 1916 it once more moved back
to France. Though the
western Allies had dissipated some of their
strength in the Dardanelles, Salonika, and
Mesopotamia.
Britain’s armies in France had grown to 36
divisions by the end of 1915. By that time
voluntary enlistments, though massive, had
nevertheless proved to be inadequate
Developments in 1917
The western Allies had good reason to be profoundly dissatisfied with the poor results of their enterprises of
1916, and this dissatisfaction was signalized by two major changes made at the end of the year. In Great Britain,
the government.
Russian revolutions
This change was made too late to avert a more
harmful sequel, for in late April a mutiny broke out
among the French infantry and spread until 16 French
army corps were affected.
The authorities chose to ascribe it to
seditious propaganda but the mutinous outbreaks
always occurred when exhausted troops were ordered
back into the line, and they signaled their grievances
by such significant cries
“We’ll defend the trenches, but we won’t attack.”
Petain restored tranquility by meeting the just
grievances of the troops; his reputation for sober
judgment restored the troops’ confidence in their
leaders, and he made it clear that he would avoid future

reckless attacks on the German lines.
