1914, when everything was developing,

from technology, transportation,

education to fashion, no

one would have thought that in

that era, which was considered beautiful, there would be a

major event that occurred, the First World War. It is

important to know that during

that period, the formation of world power was not

like now, which is dominated by the United States,

Russia, and China. At

that time, the formation of world power was held

by four powers, the Austro-

Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, the

German Empire, and the Russian Empire.

The relationship between the four was quite

easy

to understand. The

Austro-Hungarian Empire was separated by small countries that freed themselves from both, such as Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, and others. All these small countries became independent thanks to the help of Russia, which was the enemy of Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. The sentiment between the regions at

that time had indeed begun to heat up,

but the rumor that was

rumored to be the beginning of what happened in the

Austria-Hungary region, precisely in

Sarahevo. In this place, the prince of the

Austro-Hungarian Empire, namely Archduk

France Ferdinand, made a visit

with his wife. They were attacked

using bombs from separatist forces

who were not happy with the attitude of the

Royal Family. Fortunately, the prince survived.

His guards were injured,

but Franz Ferdinand did not go home,

instead he visited his guards. At the

time when he France returned home to meet

the separatists and was finally

shot to

death the death of the prince of the

Austro-Hungarian empire made them

angry and accused Serbia as the

mastermind so after the incident the

Austro-Hungarian empire

declared war on Serbia

here Austria Hungary was confident

because it was allied with the German empire

[Music] the

war

began Serbia managed to survive with the

help of the Russian empire then

Russia who was friends with France also

declared war on Austria

Hungary and also Germany this alliance

then made the war become

wider the escalation of this war Of

course it didn't just stop there and day

by day it became more and more the

German empire which at that time

had the most superior military power

had the best strategy by

relying on Russia which was slow

in preparing for war Germany also had a

strategy to attack France after

winning then Germany

hit Russia flat

this strategy does sound amazing yes but it

did not run smoothly Germany

apparently could not penetrate the defense

of France because of its

Solid border defense so Germany

started its invasion of Belgium to have

other access to enter France

this step from Germany in fact tetot

wrong Belgium's status as Neutral

made Germany considered a Criminal

in Europe until finally Great Britain

also joined the war to defend

Belgium in the midst of chaos What

Germany experienced was that they did not expect that

Russia was ready and started

attacking Austria Hungary Austria

could not defend then

made Germany withdraw troops to

hold their East Side In addition,

Austria Hungary also had problems

in the south because it failed to

invade

Serbia after some time had passed

Germany who had access to

better resources turned out to be able to

reverse the war they began to be able to

beat back Russia and also France

which made J get a breath of fresh air but

this did not last long

French war general Joseph jeofre gave

the command to counterattack

and was successful this made

Germany have a new strategy at that time

which was to use the Trench as a defense line

well the same thing was then also

done by France this event is

known as the Trench war oh it turns out

there is, sorry for laughing Trench war strategy

is one of the

most brutal war strategies because

the concept is that both parties will

place themselves in the Trench that they

control and in between there is a zone

called no man's Land both

parties will continue to shoot each other which

can last for days every

time this shooting stops there will be

assault troops advancing

these people have the courage to die

because they will be shot by the defending party

this will continue

until one party runs out The

weapons and trenches they controlled were

taken over. This war strategy was not

just about shooting, but also the

endurance to live in a

dirty, smelly trench full of disease and could also be

without a medical team. This strategy was very

iconic in the first world war

as depicted in the scene of the film

all quiet On The western

front when the war continued in Europe, the

losses suffered by Germany,

Austria Hungary, France and also Russia

caused turmoil in other parts of the world.

This made the scale of the war which would

only involve Austria

Hungary and Serbia expand to the

whole world, starting from Australia which

seized New Guinea from Germany, Japan which

seized the East Asian islands from Germany,

Italy which also attacked Austria

Hungary until the major defeat of

Germany in Africa which required

Germany to surrender

their colonies. This increasingly widespread war

then nudged another major power,

namely the

Ottoman Empire. After some time of going back and

forth to get involved in the war because of

their defeat in the Balkan war, finally the

Ottoman Empire

began to lose badly, starting to lose

to Russia in the Caucasus mountains,

also lost to Great Britain in the Zues canal

until they lost in the desert war

in the south because of the actions of the

British officer Lawrence of Arabia who started a

rebellion with the Arab tribes.

The pressure was most felt by

Germany which suffered many losses

then. decided on unreasonable things

by violating the rules of war

Germany began to attack War sip such as

dropping bombs on urban areas

England attacked enemy trenches with

chemical weapons and also attacked

civilian transport ships Well

from here the scale of the war that occurred

grew bigger and involved many

new countries after the war became more widespread

then divided the world Ni into two

large blocks allied block consisting of Russia

France Great Britain

Italy United States

Romania Japan Serbia Belgium Greece and

several Arab tribes then the central block

was filled by the German empire

Austria Hungary Ottoman Empire

and also

Bulgaria the war that began in

1914 then continued until

1918 well in the final stage of the War

resources became an important key because

all began to run out of energy especially the

main actors of the war France

experienced a rebellion within

its military then Germany was hit by

famine and Russia suffered

heavy losses in all aspects this made the

war just a matter of time well the

first country to fall was Russia

with riots in the

Petrograd area this riot then turned

into a social revolution in Russia which

became the forerunner to the birth of the Soviet Union

this riot was a blessing for Germany

Because it was able to focus on attacking

France and Great Britain unfortunately

this German attack then failed

because America was involved in the war

After a long time America remained silent

because Germany was proven to have sent a

message to Mexico to attack

America America became the key because

their resources were not depleted by the

war, especially since America became a

weapons supplier for both sides, which made the

American economy soar to the

peak of

that period. America's arrival provided

assistance to France and England,

then ended the war

with the defeat of the central bloc, starting

from Bulgaria, the Ottoman Empire, the

Austrian Empire, and Germany

finally surrendered on November 11,

1918. This war became a big stain on

human history. The victims reached 10

million lives for the Allied forces and 8

million lives for the central bloc. The end of the

First World War was marked by the

signing of the Versil agreement on

June 28,

1919. This agreement contained the consequences

received by Germany, starting from

their territorial area, the Alsint

Lorine area belonged to France. This area

contained a coal field that would be

managed by France for 15 years.

Then the corridor connecting Germany and

East Prussia belonged to Poland. Then the

German colony was given to France and

England. Next, there was the issue of the

German military, which was only allowed to

have

100,000 troops, six warships, and was

not allowed to have submarines and was

not allowed to establish an Air Force.

Next, there was also war reparations

where Germany was required to pay 32

billion Rupiah. The value of gold. Well, the last one

comes from the political side. Germany was banned from

entering the UN and had to accept the shame

of causing the First World War.

Okay, that was the First World War.

Who would have thought that the kindness of a

royal prince could be the cause of a

war that cost

millions of

lives?
