@history.unlimited: For the most part, the people of Europe greeted the outbreak of war with jubilation. Most patriotically assumed that their country would be victorious within months. Of the initial belligerents, Germany was most prepared for the outbreak of hostilities. World War I was known as the “war to end all wars” because of the great slaughter and destruction it caused. Unfortunately, the peace treaty that officially ended the conflict—the Treaty of Versailles of 1919—forced punitive terms on Germany that destabilized Europe and laid the groundwork for World War II. ℹ️ Britannica, History.com #history #ww1 #ww1history #worldwar1 #worldwar1914 #worldwar1history #worldwarone #wwi #thegreatwar #greatwar #greatwarhistory #militaryhistory #war #todayinhistory #firstworldwar #bf1 #battlefield1 #reels
