World War 1 was a very bloody, involving conflict. It all started July 28, 1914 when Austria-Hungary declared war on Serbia over the assassination of Austrian leader, Franz Ferdinand. This began one of the bloodiest wars in earths history. For the Allied Powers (France, England, America, Russia, Italy) the combined death toll was 5,525,000. For the Central Powers (Germany, Bulgaria, Ottoman Empire, Austria-Hungary), the combined death toll was 4,386,000. The trench fighting during this war was some of the most brutal in the world. People say the chief reason why the Allies won was because they outlasted their Central opponents by sending soldiers to the fronts.
