The biggest takeaway, in my opinion, of any quick look at WWI is that it had 20th-century technology but used 19th-century tactics. Germany’s advance was halted relatively quickly inside France and the true Great War finally began. Germany invaded France via Belgium (who wouldn’t allow German armies to pass through their country) which prompted Great Britain to enter the war. Its plan was to take France out as fast as possible before the massive country of Russia had time to mobilize an army and then pivot to face the potentially larger foe. Germany entered the war on the side of Austria-Hungary (Central Powers) and quickly realized that it would have to fight a war on two fronts between France and Russia. Started by the assassination of Archduke and heir to the throne of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, Franz Ferdinand, the conflict quickly encompassed the whole globe due to called in treaties and the mobilization of colonies. World War I, or the Great War, or the War to End All Wars (take your pick) was the largest war in history at the time. The Battle of the Somme in World War I is one of the deadliest battles in world history and represents a change in how warfare was conducted.
