| |The Big Picture: |

| |From the 1880s to 1914, tensions increased among European nations as a result of imperial competition, advanced militaries, and powerful feelings of nationalism, especially in the |

| |Balkans. The outbreak of war between Serbia and Austria-Hungary triggered a network of European alliances and the beginning of the first World War between the Central Powers and |

| |the Allied Powers. This “Great War” was unlike any previous world conflict. Troops fought in trenches with new weapons like machine guns, tanks, and poison gas. Nations committed |

| |to “total war” and converted all their nation’s resources to winning the war. During the war, Russia was plagued by a series of economic and political problems. In 1917, Vladimir |

| |Lenin and the Bolsheviks overthrew the Russian government and created the world’s first communist nation, the Soviet Union. By 1919, the Allies had won and signed the Treaty of |

| |Versailles bringing an end to the war. The peacemakers created a League of Nations to prevent future wars, but brutally punished Germany and inadvertently created conditions that |

| |would lead to another world war in 1939. |
