World War 1 (1914-1918) was one of the most transformative events in modern history. Often referred to as “The Great War”, it not only redrew borders but also reshaped political systems, economies, societies, and ideologies across the globe.
One of the most significant impacts was the collapse of long-standing empires – the Austro-Hungarian, Ottoman, German, and Russian empires all crumbled.

The Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in 1917, fueled by wartime hardship, gave birth to the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles, which held Germany solely responsible for the war and imposed several reparations, laid the foundation for the rise of Adolf Hitler and World War 2.
Economically, World War 1 devastated Europe but positioned the United States as a global economic power. The war effort spurred industrial innovation and marked the beginning of the modern military-industrial complex.

In essence, World War 1 was a turning point that reshaped the 20th century. It ended old regimes, birthed new powers, and set the stage for future conflicts, while permanently changing the geopolitical and social fabric of the world.
