World War I, also known as the First World War or the Great War, began on July 28, 1914, and ended on November 11, 1918. The war started after the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand on June 28, 1914, which led Austria-Hungary to declare war on Serbia. This conflict quickly escalated, involving many nations mainly divided into the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey) and the Allies (including France, Great Britain, Russia, Italy, Japan, and later the United States). The war officially ended when Germany signed the armistice on November 11, 1918, ceasing hostilities on the Western Front at 11 a.m. Paris time.
