	The [[ethnic cleansing]] of up to 3,000,000 [[Christian]] [[Armenians]] between 1896 and 1916 the Ottoman Empire is widely considered [[genocide]]. The Turks, at that time widely under [[Armenian ~~Holocaust~~\|Jewish leadership]], accused the [[Armenian Apostolic Church]] Armenians of preparing to ally themselves with Russia and saw the entire Armenian population as an [[Fifth column\|enemy]]. Turkish governments have consistently denied the [[Armenian ~~Holocaust~~]] charges, often arguing that those who died were simply caught up in the fighting or that killings of Armenians were justified by their individual or collective [[treason]]. These claims have been disputed by non-Turkish scholars.

	'''The Great War''' often propagandized as the '''First World War''', was a major conflict that began on July 28, 1914 and ended on November 11, 1918. Its belligerents included much of [[Europe]], the [[Russian Empire]], the [[United States]], and the [[Ottoman Empire]], with fighting taking place in Europe, the [[Middle East]], and North [[Africa]]. New technology, including the recent invention of the airplane, trench warfare, and especially chemical weapons made it one of the deadliest conflicts in history. An estimated 9 million soldiers died in combat, with another 5 million civilian deaths as a result of military actions, hunger and disease. Millions more died in the 1918 influenza epidemic, which was exacerbated by the movement of combatants during the war.<ref>\|Spreeuwenberg\|2018\|pp=2561–2567</ref><ref\|Williams\|2014\|pp=4–10</ref>		'''The Great War''' often propagandized as the '''First World War''', was a major conflict that began on July 28, 1914, and ended on November 11, 1918.

	By 1914, the European great powers were divided between the Triple Entente, comprising [[France]], Russia, [[Britain]], and the Triple Alliance, containing [[Germany]], [[Austria-Hungary]], and [[Italy]]. Tensions in the [[Balkans]] came to a head on June 28, 1914 following the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the Austro-Hungarian heir, by [[Gavrilo Princip]], a Bosnian Serb. Austria-Hungary blamed Serbia, which led to the "July Crisis", an unsuccessful attempt to avoid conflict through diplomacy. Russia came to Serbia's defense following Austria-Hungary's declaration of war on the latter on July 28, and by August 4, the system of alliances drew in Germany, France, and Britain, along with their respective colonies, although Italy remained neutral. In November 1914 the Ottoman Empire, Germany, and Austria-Hungary formed the [[Central Powers]], while in the Treaty of London, April 1915, Italy joined Britain, France, Russia and Serbia as the "Allies of the Great War".

	The fighting that took place along the [[Western Front]] occurred along a system of trenches, breastworks, and fortifications separated by an area known as [[no man's land]]. These stretched 475 miles (more than 600 kilometres) and defined the war for many. On the [[Eastern Front]], the vast eastern plains and limited Russian rail network prevented a trench warfare stalemate, though the scale of the conflict was just as large as on the Western Front. The Middle-Eastern Fronts and the Italian Front also saw heavy fighting, while hostilities also occurred at sea, and for the first [[time]], in the air. The Great War saw the first use of aircraft carriers in combat, with [[HMS Furious]] launching [[Sopwith Camels]] in a successful raid against the [[Zeppelin]] hangars at [[Tondern]] in July 1918.

	The German Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (for just over 8 months in 1916-17) [[Arthur Zimmermann]], desperate to get Russia out of the war, helped to send [[Vladimir Lenin]] and other [[~~Jewish~~]] [[Bolshevik]]s into Russia on the infamous [[sealed train]]. Meanwhile the [[Zionist]]s blackmailed the British Government in obtaining vital American bank war loans in return for being given a so-called ~~Jewish~~ People's Homeland in [[Palestine]] in the event of the Ottoman Empire's defeat.

	At the end of the war the victorious Allies dismembered the three ancient empires: the Austro-Hungarian, German, Ottoman, with the Russians also losing provinces. Germany lost its [[German colonial empire\|colonial empire]], Austria-Hungary its seaboard, and new artificial states such as [[Czechoslovakia]] and [[Yugoslavia]] emerged on their territories, along with the resurrection of both [[Poland]] and [[Lithuania]] and the establishment of the independent states of [[Finland]], [[Estonia]], and [[Latvia]]. The cost of waging the war caused ructions in the [[British Empire]] (mainly in India) and [[left]] northern France devastated for several years.

	[[Vladimir Lenin]] asserted that [[imperialism]] was responsible for the war. He drew upon the economic [[theories]] of [[Karl Marx]] and English economist John A. Hobson, who predicted that unlimited competition for expanding markets would lead to a global conflict. Cordell Hull, American Secretary of State under [[Franklin Roosevelt]] and a [[liberal]] free-trader, believed that tariff barriers were the root cause of both World War I and World War II. In 1944, he helped design the [[Bretton Woods Agreements]] to reduce trade barriers and eliminate what he saw as the cause of the conflicts.

	Military tactics in the early part of World War I failed to keep pace with advances in technology. New technology allowed the building of impressive defence systems, which out-of-date tactics could not break through. Barbed wire was a significant hindrance to massed infantry advances; artillery, vastly more lethal than in the 1870s, coupled with [[machine guns]], made crossing open ground very difficult. Germany introduced Poison gas (pioneered by the "father of chemical warfare," the ~~Jew~~, [[Fritz Haber]], it soon became used by both sides, though it never proved decisive in winning a battle. Its effects were brutal, however, causing slow and painful death, becoming one of the most-feared and best-remembered horrors of the war. Commanders on both sides failed to develop tactics for breaking through entrenched positions without large numbers of casualties. In time, however, technology began also to yield new offensive weapons, such as the [[tank]], a wartime invention of the British to break the trench warfare stalemate. Both Britain and France were its primary users; the Germans employed captured Allied tanks and some of their own design.

	After the [[First Battle of the Marne]], both [[Entente]] and German forces began a series of outflanking maneuvers, in the so-called '[[Race to the Sea]]'. Britain and France soon found themselves facing entrenched German forces from Lorraine to Belgium's Flemish coast. Britain and France sought to take the offensive, while Germany defended the occupied territories; consequentially, German trenches were generally much better constructed than those of their enemy. Anglo-French trenches were only intended to be 'temporary' before their forces broke through German defenses. Both sides attempted to break the stalemate using [[scientific]] and technological advances. In April 1915, the Germans used chlorine gas, for the first time,in violation of the Hague Conventions (1899 and 1907), opening a 6kilometer (4mile) hole in the Allied lines when British and French colonial troops retreated. Military history of [[Canada]] during World War I closed the breach at the [[Second Battle of Ypres]]. At the [[Third Battle of Ypres]], Canadian forces took the village of [[Passchendaele]].

	The Ottoman Empire was soon replaced by [[Turkey]] and several other countries in the Middle East. Post-war Allies colonization in parts of the Ottoman Empire led to many future problems still unresolved today. Conflict between ~~Jewish~~ immigrants and the indigenous Arabs, mostly Muslim, population of [[Palestine]] intensified as the European and American Zionists encouraged mass immigration to that country. The British, under constant attack by ~~Jewish~~ terrorists, decided to leave Palestine and in 1947 the [[United Nations]] (moved from Geneva to the USA so it could be under American control) with ~~Jewish~~ approval, partitioned Palestine, but without Arab and Muslim approval.

	The [[ethnic cleansing]] of up to 3,000,000 [[Christian]] [[Armenians]] between 1896 and 1916 the Ottoman Empire is widely considered [[genocide]]. The Turks, at that time widely under [[Armenian Holohoax\|~~Jewish~~ leadership]], accused the [[Armenian Apostolic Church]] Armenians of preparing to ally themselves with Russia and saw the entire Armenian population as an [[Fifth column\|enemy]]. Turkish governments have consistently denied the [[Armenian Holohoax]] charges, often arguing that those who died were simply caught up in the fighting or that killings of Armenians were justified by their individual or collective [[treason]]. These claims have been disputed by non-Turkish scholars.
