War Post

In my AP World class we are doing a unit that covers World War I so that is what war I decided to blog about. The was started in 1914 because of the assassination or the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo, which then led to the current emperor Franz Joseph declaring war on Serbia on July 28, 1914. The alliances between countries caused the war to grow and expand more then expected. Since Russia was in alliance with France and Great Britain, that meant they would have their back when Russia protected Serbia. Germany was in alliance with Austria-Hungary and was then basically screwed because the powers of Russia, Great Britain, and France were much greater then those of Germany and Austria-Hungary. After a long 4 years the war finally ends in 1918. November 9th of 1918, Kaiser Wilhem II abdicates himself and the next day a German Republic is formed. Then at 11 o clock, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month the war is finally over when Germany sign an Armistice.
