World War 1 was a global conflict that lasted from 1914 - 1918 and had a significant long-term impact on the development of Europe throughout the 20th century.

Germany's expansionistic leader, Kaiser Wilhelm II, is often cited as a key cause of the conflict, which escalated quickly after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand by Gavrilo Princip in Sarajevo (28 June 1914).

From the assassination to the Armistice 11th November 1918, this video charts the course of the Great War.
